“The firearm use was on the resident’s own property in the protection of his own dog. Further review will take place for this incident; however, initial examination of the facts indicate that the person who stopped the attack of the pit bull acted within the provisions of the law — Wisconsin Statute 174.01 — Restraining Action Against Dogs (allows for the use of deadly force in the protection of one’s own domesticated animal),” Wohlgemuth wrote to media about the incident.
