Animal Officer Dies

I notcied a quick article in regards to a Connecticut animal officer that died after an encounter with a pitbull. According to the News Times, the officer responded to a call made in regards to an aggressive dog that had trapped a family in their home.

Officer Theresa Foss, was not bit by the pitbull rather knocked over and hit her head. It was reported that the death was not caused by the pet, Yale-New Haven Hospital did not release the cause of death.

The circumstance seems to be worst case scenario for an animal officer. Fortunately the owner of the pitbull was respectful and understanding of the matter by immediately having his pet put down. I am sure there are many pet owners who would be incapable of doing a task like this especially with such immediacy.
