    Cop gives citation to couple taking dog to emergency vet
    A dog dies in a car during a traffic stop after her owner is pulled over for speeding on a San Marcos, Texas interstate.

    speeding in excess of 100 mph could kill another human being, let alone the dog,

    putting human beings lives in danger on the road w/excess speeding because an animal is "dying" is no excuse, the driver deserves the ticket because if he didn't get it, he'd likely be going 125 after the cop let him go and then this wouldve been a real tragedy for the driver, the passenger, the dog, and some other innocent drivers and/or pedestrians

      It is just a dog ; 100 miles an hour is flat out wrong. Your going to put other people in danger over a dog. That dog would have died anyways. Shit the cop saved them a large vet bill.

          Dog's Death Dogs Traffic Cop
          Police Said Officer Handled Situation Poorly
          By ANDREA CANNING, PATRICK DOHERTY and IMAEYEN IBANGA
          Aug. 17, 2008


          A San Marcos, Texas, police officer has been accused of inappropriate behavior during a traffic stop which may have lead to a dog's death.
          Texas officer's behavior during a traffic stop may have lead to a dog's death.

          Officer Paul Stephens spotted driver Michael Gonzalez speeding down Interstate 35 and pulled him over for clocking 100 miles per hour. After a brief pursuit, Gonzalez pulled alongside the highway and emerged from his car, saying, "He's dying."

          Tune into "GMA" Monday, Aug. 18 to catch an interview with Michael Gonzalez.

          "Who's dying? Relax," Stephens said as his cruiser's dashboard camera captured the interaction.

          "My dog," Gonzalez said during the Aug. 5 traffic stop.

          ------------------------

          I love my dog dearly, as well as most others, but sure as hell wouldn't be speeding that much (100 mph). The civilian doesn't have a leg to stand on, if it goes to court.

            The dog probably had a heart attack after hearing that he was in a car going 100 mph. What a sad way to end a dog's pitiful life.

                  What an asshole. Just another reason why people hate cops.

                  I was pulled over for something similar. My puppy was dying and kept trying to throw up on my lap. Hence, I was unaware that I was speeding until I was pulled over. But he wasn't a jerkoff like this dude and did not berate me for it.

                    Going 100MPH and endangering other peoples lives because of any animal dying is wrong. He got too carried away, that's nuts. While what the cop said wasn't very compassionate for the situation, he was taking the approach of, you know I've seen a lot of people wreck and lives get taken, and you're potentially bringing this all about because your pet is messed up? He told him to relax, and I don't see a problem as far as that goes.

                        gambling is illegal in most places and its just money but we still do it also. If it was my dog i would probably have done it also.

                            I realize that some people consider their pets to be family, but breaking the law is still breaking the law.

                              It's not a dog it was a family member. The cop handled it poorly with his callousness. They offered to have the guy stay and get the ticket and the girl would take the dog to the vet(which died on the way) but the cop refused teling them to 'just get another dog'. Some people here have no compassion for anything except their wallet. ****ing disgusting but not surprising considering there are some real degenerates on this forum.

                                If it was my dog I would have asked him if he wanted the ride of his life with Dale Jr wannabee on the wheels before he went to the doctor.

                                What if your pet elefant was sick? Would you speed a 100 mph on your trailer to save him?

                                    Was he expecting a police escort?

                                    Yes, the cop didn't handle it as well as he should have, but people believe that they have the right to break the law when it suits them. I'm sure if the man with the dying dog was hit by another car because the driver had explosive diarrhea and was on the way to the hospital to have his rectum surgically sealed, he would not be understanding.

                                      Wow, lots of uncompassionate people here.

                                      If it had been his daughter that was dying instead of a dog, would the cop have had said "It's just a daughter"? So why should a dog be any different? They are part of the family and are afforded the same rights under the law from being mistreated and abused.

                                      The cop should be charged with cruelty to animal for allowing it to suffer needlessly. He could have followed them to the hospital and then issued a citation there. Would've been the humane and compassionate thing to do.

                                      If a cop had pulled me over while I was taking my dog to the hospital after a rattlesnake bit him and said "It's just a dog," I'd probably have killed him.

                                        sucide rates for gambler's are pretty high and plenty of lives have been ruined and family lives devastated so a lot can be at risk. I understand theres no comparision as far as hurting others but i would bet since i am a gambler that everyone on here has sped for reasons that are less then a pet dying and most would try to come up with a excuse for not getting a ticket. Should the man have gotten a ticket? Yes, should the cop of been more understanding and trying to help first get the dog to the vet? Also yes. He could of gave the ticket after getting to the vet.

                                          So you always drive at or under the posted speed limit? Because even 1 mph over and you're violating the law.

                                            ok here is another one. What if the cop was a k-9 officer and his dog had been shot? Do you think he would speed to get to the hospital?

                                              Is there a published scientific study that says dying dogs that ride in vehicles travelling at speeds of excess 100 mph are more prone to be saved than dogs that ride in vehicles travelling in speed limits of 70 mph?

                                                  Just think of the vet bill the cop saved them. The dog was going to die anyways.

                                                    Good point. When a police dog is killed in the line of duty, it is given a full police funeral/burial just as they would for a human officer.

                                                      How the fvck would you know???? Are you a vet?

                                                      When one of my dogs was bitten by a rattlesnake, a delay of mere 15 minutes would have led to him suffocating to death.

                                                      Luckily, I got to the ER in time and they were able to administer anti-venom and saved his life.
