This is a tough deal and without knowing the whole story, it's hard to judge.
In the (supposed) eyes of the law, a dog is property, just like a cow, horse, pig, car, house, fence, etc, and is valued like one.
The dog can be replaced with $$. Even the best dog, from great working or show bloodlines, can be replaced in the 4 figure range.
I've owned dogs my entire life. You can't put a price on how much I loved each and every one...
I think the large judgement is in reference to the fact that it wasn't a justifiable shooting and the city was accepting responsibility for that.
I'm kinda thinkin that cop should have been the one responsible. The city may want to keep an eye on him.
