Here's why I voted yes.
I had a church member some 20 years ago that was a K-9 officer. He was in pursuit of a man who fled in his vehicle from a felony.
My friend got out and followed him into a wooded area. His dog, Bodi, went ahead to find the culprit. Bodi crested a hill prior to Tim and a shot rang out. Bodi was killed instantly. Tim returned fire with the man and the man was wounded in the leg. After an hour or two of negotiations by Tim, the man surrendered.
Bodi took the bullet that was meant for Tim. Had Bodi not been so well trained and protective of Tim, the man would have shot my friend when he crested the hill.
Just my opinion on why I say yes.
