Sadness and grief, of course. Shock and bewilderment. Raw anger, too. And who could blame them? Not even a week had passed since a Stokes County deputy shot the family dog, a pit bull named Cleo, on the stairs leading into their home. Deputy Joseph Lane told his supervisors that the dog growled and had him cornered. The traumatized family flatly disputes that characterization. âShe was professionally trained,â said Larry Rogers, the family patriarch. âShe would run and hide if you raised your voice even a little.â Making a tragedy even worse, in this day and age, there is no video evidence. Deputies in Stokes County do not wear body cameras nor are patrol cars equipped with in-dash video.
