Disturbing surveillance video has captured the moment an Iowa cop shot dead a family’s dog in front of two traumatized young kids — just weeks after the same officer allegedly mowed down another pooch nearby.
Davenport Police Department officer Ethan Bock opened fire on the two-year-old beloved pet — named Myst — last Wednesday after responding to a separate 911 call about four other aggressive canines roaming the streets, cops said.
Footage of the fatal encounter, which was released by the family in the aftermath, showed the officer pulling up alongside the boys as they rode their bikes up and down an alleyway with the tail-wagging dog in tow.
Just moments after telling the children to take the dog inside and get a leash, the officer could be seen getting out of his cruiser and walking towards the home.
The dog’s owner, Don Hesseltine, said the boys were in the middle of complying with the officer’s demands — but chaos erupted when a barking Myst ran up to the officer in the front yard.
