“My neighbor called and told me I was getting a ticket on my van. When I opened the fence, my puppy ran out. That’s when I heard two gunshots and the officer shot my dog,” Phillips said.

The 7-month-old Bull Terrier miniature puppy survived but had a bullet in its leg and fragments in its abdomen.

“Luckily he’ll survive,” Phillips said. “We were going to show him but now we can’t. He’ll never be the same.”

While on the phone with WBBM Newsradio, police returned to the home to issue another ticket for an unleashed dog.

“It’s totally absolutely irresponsible for the guy to shoot his gun,” Phillips said. “One could’ve ricocheted and hit someone. There were a lot of people walking around.”
