I couldn't find it. My point is that the dog was not being vicious at that time and was under control. If it needed to be put down for some reason, it should have been done in a humane way.
As callous as it may sound, a single shot to the head is one of the most humane. I'm really curious as to why this happened, though.

C.S. Lewis
A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
