The Lucky Dog Animal Rescue has released a copy of their complaint (PDF) to the District over the incident on Adams Morgan day that saw a K-9 officer kill a pitbull during the festival. The story is hair-raising, and alleges that the police let the dog, Parrot, bleed to death just off the sidewalk over a period of 1-2 hours. MPD is still investigating the case, and has significantly limited comment on the matter.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
this is just so heartbreaking. Thanks to Lucky Dog and to We Love DC for continuing to pursue justice and cover this story. RIP Parrot…here’s hoping there’s a soft doggie bed, lots of love and belly rubs, and extra treats for you on the other side.
