The dog, according to Steve-o, was named Star.<\/p>\n<p>Another witness, Roland Bueler, said the dog was protecting his master as a police officer tried unsuccessfully to rouse him while an ambulance awaited. \u201cPeople who live in the neighborhood say he\u2019s along here all the time,\u201d Mr. Bueler said of Pollock. \u201cHe had a dog that was, I think, a pitbull mix. And the dog was defending the guy so no one could approach him.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>Melvin FelixSteve-o (left) said he was a friend of the dog\u2019s\u00a0owner.<\/div>\n<p>Mr. Bueler\u2019s wife, Larissa Udovik, who had just visited the optometrist at the nearby\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyee.edu\/\">Eye and Ear Infirmary<\/a>, noticed the commotion and went to check out the scene. Her curiosity and blurred vision nearly got the best of her \u2014 she moved too close to the dog and it lunged at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the police shouted and then the dog ran out to the street and he was a bit agitated. The police shot him,\u201d said Mr. Bueler, who couldn\u2019t recall whether he heard one or two shots. \u201cI think they also put some pepper spray on the dog. The dog took about half a minute or a minute to die. It took a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses begged the officer to shoot Star again as he whimpered and died an uncomfortably slow death. Eddie Huang, the owner of Baohaus,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrEddieHuang\/status\/235107764823814144\">tweeted an image<\/a>\u00a0captured moments after the shots were fired, and wrote that police \u201cshot a dog and let it die slow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One eyewitness, who did not want to be identified because he works on the block, said that an officer maced the pitbull after it was shot.<\/p>\n<div>Melvin FelixThe belongings of the dog\u2019s owner.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe cops shot the dog and didn\u2019t put it out of its misery,\u201d the witness said. \u201cThe dog was still twitching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve-o said the dog was still breathing as it was placed in a body bag. \u201cHe has seizures,\u201d he said of its owner. \u201cThat\u2019s probably why he was passed out on the floor. The first thing they do is shoot his dog? They\u2019re crazy. They threaten us all the time with this \u2014 all my friends with dogs \u2014 the first chance they get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A police spokesman did not yet have details on the incident, but said that no humans were shot. He said he had heard that one officer had been treated at Bellevue Hospital for injuries related to the shooting, but could not confirm how the officer was hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Example Articles about: Animals\u00a0Education\u00a0Environment\u00a0Veterans\u00a0Medical Police Officers Shoot Pitbull on 14th http:\/\/eastvillage.thelocal.nytimes.com\/2012\/08\/13\/police-officer-shoots-pitbull-on-14th-street\/ A police officer shot a pitbull that was apparently trying to defend its passed-out owner on 14th Street at around 4:15 p.m., horrifying passersby who watched the wounded mutt suffer a slow death.
