   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2815
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Before Colloton, Wollman, and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Kansas City police officers shot plaintiffs' 
   dog, and plaintiffs brought this action for violation of their Fourth and 
   Fourteenth Amendment rights. Given the aggressive behavior of the dog and 
   the failure of the plaintiffs to control it, a reasonable officer could 
   have perceived the dog as an imminent threat, and the officer who fired 
   the shots was entitled to qualified immunity on the plaintiffs' claims.
