Dog lunges at deputy, shot in Pennfield Township
PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A deputy shot and killed a dog when it lunged at him after responding to a report about aggressive dogs in Pennfield Township on Friday. Around 5:11 p.m., deputies with the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office were sent to the area of Swift Road near Capital Avenue NE after receiving multiple reports about aggressive dogs running loose in the area. The callers said the three dogs were Pit Bulls, and they were concerned because children play outside in the area. Responding deputies spoke to the two people who called. One person said the dogs came onto his property and attacked his dog, which received minor injuries. The second caller said the dogs aggressively charged at her while she was in her yard. The deputies found the three dogs in a side lot near a home. When a deputy approached the dogs, trying to secure them in his vehicle, they charged at him. The sheriff's office said that he gave 'loud verbal commands' to try and deter the dogs, but they didn't stop. When one of the dogs was within 3 to 5 feet of the deputy and lunged at him, he fired his gun three times, hitting the dog, the sheriff's office said. The other two dogs took off. The dog hit by gunfire died at the scene, the sheriff's office said. Shortly after the dog was shot, the dogs' owners arrived at the scene and took the two dogs. The sheriff's office said they also took the dead dog home after declining to have the dog taken to the county animal shelter. The sheriff's office said that a supervisor went to the scene to provide 'oversight, documentation, and contact information for any necessary follow-up.' An administrative review will take place due to the use of force, the sheriff's office said. Anyone with information is asked to contact Lt. Curtis Smith at 269.781.0880 or submit an anonymous tip through Silent Observer at 269.964.3888. The case remains under investigation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
