An off-duty Pembroke Pines police officer witnessed the event and said De La Ros took a knee, lined up the cross hairs and took a shot that killed the dog.

Princess began bleeding from the mouth and was taken to an animal hospital where it was determined that a pellet traveled through her chest, killing her.

At first the owners didn’t know what happened, according to a Facebook post from DPD.

Princess belonged to the 8-year-old daughter of the parents who were walking the puppy.

According to the DPD, the family had moved to the area the day before from out of state.
