   COOKEVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- Police video released Wednesday showed
   a North Carolina family kneeling and handcuffed, who shrieked as
   officers killed their dog -- which appeared to be playfully wagging
   its tail -- with a shotgun during a traffic stop.

...

   The family was driving through eastern Tennessee on their way home
   from a New Year's trip to Nashville. They told CNN they are in the
   process of retaining a lawyer and considering legal action against the
   Cookeville, Tennessee, Police Department and the Tennessee Highway
   Patrol for what happened to them and their dog.

   In the video, released by the THP, officers are heard ordering the
   family, one by one, to get out of their car with their hands up. James
   Smoak and his wife, Pamela, and 17-year-old son Brandon are ordered
   onto their knees and handcuffed.

...

   The Smoaks told CNN that as they knelt, handcuffed, they pleaded with
   officers to close the doors of their car so their two dogs would not
   escape, but the officers did not heed them.

...

   The tape then shows the Smoak's medium-size brown dog romping on the
   shoulder of the Interstate, its tail wagging. As the family yells, the
   dog, named Patton, first heads away from the road, then quickly
   circles back toward the family.

   An officer in a blue uniform aims his shotgun at the dog and fires at
   its head, killing it immediately.
