A federal lawsuit was filed Nov. 7 against two Des Moines, WA police officers involved in a Nov.17, 2010, incident in which they shot and killed a dog named Rosie.

Rosie’s family is seeking punitive damages against the officers and other expenses related to the trial and general damages the family said they suffered over the loss of the dog. Damages sought exceed $10,000; a $600,000 civil claim had been filed against the officers in July.

In November 2010, police officers Tased, then shot and killed the 120-pound Newfoundland. They had responded to a call from a concerned neighbor that the dog was loose and might get hit in traffic. <more>
