A couple was stopped for a speeding ticket, as they were trying to take their sick dog to the vet.
The dog died while the officer gave them a ticket for speeding.
A distressed Gonzalez said he called a New Braunfels, Texas, veterinarian and described the dog's symptoms as he drove but had to pull over when Stephens flagged him for speeding.
The officer's dashboard camera captured a visibly emotional Gonzalez, who was shaking, franticly asking for aid for Missy.
"She's dying," Gonzalez said.
"Who's dying? Relax," Stephens said.
"My dog," Gonzalez responded.
The tape shows Stephens telling Gonzalez to calm down and reprimanding him for endangering other motorists with his driving.
"You're driving down the highway at 100 per hour," he said sternly. "It's a dog. It's OK. You can get another one. Relax."
What do you guys think about this incident? Should the same law apply to animals? If a person was sick and being driven to the hospital, the police would give them an escort! In this case the police gave them a ticket, and said "GET A NEW DOG".
WTH...??
