In AZ you can't shoot a dog that's attacking anything but another human. If your neighbor's unleashed and unfenced rotweiler comes after your poodle while walking it on a leash around the neighborhood, you can't shoot the rotweiler, even though he's unleashed and not on his property. You definitely go to a dog park at your own risk. Though perhaps the perp in this TX case will be able to cite the countless instances of cops shooting harmless dogs with impunity as part of his defense.
