Police officer sacked after shocking footage shows him shooting Chihuahua

A police officer has been sacked after he shot a Chihuahua - and the dog's owner filmed the entire incident.



Animal lovers were left furious when footage emerged of the police dog handler opening fire on the tiny dog.



Deputy Keenan Wallace was responding to a call about an aggressive dog in the city of Conway, Arkansas when he shot the pet.



In the clip, the officer can be seen speaking to a resident as two small dogs run around on the grass.



One of the dogs starts barking when the homeowner, Doug Canady, refuses to go to the road to speak to the officer.
