Animal rights group joins investigation of dog shooting in Anne Arundel County

SEVERN, Md. - A make-shift memorial now adorns the Quail Run Dog Park in Severn where a federal police officer opened fire on the Husky named “Bear Bear” after it got into a tussle with his German shepherd.

"He should have had the proper training to know how to de-escalate a situation and not to escalate,” said the Husky’s owner, Rachel Reitaliata, “and there are so many avenues he could have taken instead of pulling out a weapon and shooting a dog."

The case has drawn national attention, so it should come as no surprise that the Humane Society of the United States, headquartered in the nation’s capitol, took notice.
