Kentucky law reads, 'any vicious dog found at large may be killed by an animal control or peace officer'. However, the dog owner, Donny Moore and his family is upset.
"I'm sure he's upset about it and I'm upset about it but we're just going to have to move on now," says Moore, Lady's owner.
Their 3 year old collie, named Lady was dropped off on their street 2 years ago. They took her in and she remained an outside dog. The family says she's a loving dog that would never attack but the city police office has several complaints about Lady and several other dogs in the neighborhood.
Gerald Whestell walks the neighborhood everyday for exercises, he carriers with him an arrow for protection.

"Last week we encountered 2 dogs at the same time and they were quite aggressive, threatening," says Whestell.
The dog was disposed of by animal control.
Chief Watwood says they will investigate the incident, but preliminary checks show the officer had every right to shoot the dog.
