City in Washington to Pay for Shooting of Dog

DES MOINES, Wash. — The city of Des Moines has agreed to pay at least $51,000 to a couple whose barking dog, Rosie the Newfoundland, was shot and killed by Des Moines police near its home in 2010, it was reported late Wednesday.

Rosie’s killing generated strong emotions throughout the city at the time.

The settlement between Des Moines and the Rosie’s owners was reached late last month, The Seattle Times said.
