Regina woman says police shot dog, then she was arrested for the ‘theft of my own pets’ [Video]

Amid a family dispute over the ownership of two dogs, a Regina woman says she’s devastated after police shot one of the animals in front of her house.

Jennifer Godfrey said one of the officers who came to her home on the morning of May 14 “allowed her dog Bane to escape,” then another officer shot the dog in the chest.

“My dog was already subdued and he shot him again,” Godfrey said.

According to a Regina Police Service (RPS) news release, officers were dispatched to a home in the 1500 block of Athol Street after a report of theft. Police say they were told two dogs had been taken without permission and they were believed to be at that address.

Godfrey said the call came from her mother, who Godfrey had spent six months trying to retrieve her two dogs from. Godfrey said the dogs are hers.
