Heartbreaking: San Diego Cop Kills A Man's Service Dog After Knocking On Wrong Door!

A California man is devastated after police fatally shot his service dog outside of his home.

Two officers with the San Diego Police Department were responding to a domestic disturbance call early Sunday morning when they mistakenly knocked on 24-year-old Ian Anderson's door regarding a domestic disturbance call in the area.

The forceful knocking woke Anderson up and excited his 6-year-old pit bull named Burberry, which started barking. When he came to the door, Anderson informed the officers that they had the wrong house. Burberry had meanwhile stopped barking and slipped out the door.

Footage from a surveillance video that was released by Huffington Post shows one of the officers reaching his hand toward the dog after it exits the house. Burberry then runs up to the other officer, who starts backing away. Within seconds, as Burberry follows him, the officer draws his firearm and then, off-screen, shoots the dog in the head.

"[The officer] jumped back, went this way, drew his weapon," Anderson told NBC San Diego. "Boom. Shot right in the head and he was done. He was dead."
