(FILER, ID) – A Filer police officer who sparked outrage after shooting a dog is back at work. Tarek Hassani killed a dog February 8 following a report about dogs running loose in a neighborhood. Dash cam footage of the incident shows the dog barking and growling at Hassani, which prompted him to open fire. After seeing the video, the owner believes his dog posed no physical threat to the officer. Hassani spent nearly two months on administrative leave following the shooting. The city of Filer is now requiring all emergency officials to take animal control training courses.
