Police in Ogden, Utah, released a bodycam video of an officer shooting a dog earlier in August, and officials have cleared the officer in question.

The officer asks “is the dog nice?” as he is approaching the home. The dog, a pit bull or pit bull mix, then starts barking and lunges at the officer. The officer then retreats and fires his weapon. The dog received ”superficial injuries,” said police.
