These officers should be charged with a crime, or at the very least be required to pay some sort of restitution. We'll see if that happens. But i'm not counting on it.
IMO, the owners are not entirely blameless. Why on earth was the dog chained up in the first place? Why do you believe the officers would know the dog was chained up in the dark? I've known dogs to get off of chains before, I don't think I'd count on one for MY protection, why should I expect the officers to act any differently?
In my experience, dogs on chains tend to be much more aggressive than dogs that are in a fenced in yard and I don't trust those chains.
I choose not to blame the victim. These officers were wrong. They should be held accountable.
