A dog was left bleeding on his family's porch after he was shot by an Oklahoma sheriff's deputy who told the family about the incident in a note taped on the door, according to the pooch's owner.

Angie Laymon said her family was away from home on Wednesday night when the Rogers County Sheriff's Office was called after neighbor's reported hearing gunshots.

She said the responding deputy decided to go to their home, and after he 'disregarded the canine warning and continued to approach the house,' he encountered their German Shepherd Bruno.

A dog was left bleeding on his family's porch after he was shot by an Oklahoma sheriff's deputy who told the family about the incident in a note taped on the door, according to the pooch's owner

Angie Laymon said her family returned home on Wednesday to find their dog Bruno bleeding and a note taped that on the door that read 'We were investigating a crime and your dog attacked our deputy. The dog was shot'

When the deputy reached their house she said he felt threatened and shot the dog, then taped the note to the door, and left the bleeding pooch on the porch.

'Senseless...unnecessary...avoidable,' the devastated owner wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday as she recalled the incident, saying Bruno was 'only protecting his own turf.'

The note left on the door by the deputy read: 'We were investigating a crime and your dog attacked our deputy. The dog was shot and we need you to call us.'

She said her children arrived from church after they were dropped off by a family friend and found the note and then Bruno 'covered in blood, laying on the porch crying and bleeding.'

Laymon and her husband arrived 15 minutes later and the dog was then taken to the Emergency Animal Hospital, where they learned he had a bullet lodged in his shoulder joint.

She noted nearly three hours passed before the family returned home after the incident.

She said she tried to call the sheriff's office and never heard back.

'A couple of investigative reporters got involved and made so much more progress than I did!! They stayed after it and actually managed to get a recorded interview with the Sheriff - he confirmed that my dog did not attack,' she wrote on a Gofundme page set up to raise money for Bruno's surgery.

Sheriff Scott Walton said his deputy did nothing wrong by driving onto Laymon's property and described Bruno as aggressive, according to Fox8live.

He also said that following the incident, the sheriff's office has been on the receiving end of hateful calls and threats.

'He [the deputy] certainly believes that he brought the sheriff's office under a negative light, and my instruction to him, he did not,' Walton said.

He added: 'If it gets to the point where it's expected that a law enforcement officer gets out of his vehicle and can't take any action to protect his own safety from getting mauled by a dog then I think we're in the wrong business.'

However, Laymon said Bruno did nothing wrong by protecting her home and that he did not bite the officer. She plans to file a claim with Rogers County over the shooting.

Bruno, who has since lost one of his legs following the ordeal, underwent an invasive surgery after two bones in his shoulder joint were shattered, Laymon fox8live.

'There's not enough bone left to hold it together,' Laymon said of his leg.

Laymon had set up a Gofundme page on Wednesday to help raise funds for Bruno's surgery.

She noted that if Roger's County reimbursed the family for veterinary expenses then the remaining funds would be used as a scholarship to provide life-saving funds for pets whose owners are financially unable to afford the care.

Bruno, who lost his leg after two bones were shattered in his shoulder joint, was back home on Sunday recovering

In three days the account raised more than $10,700.

Bruno was back home on Sunday recovering after surgery, according to Laymon's Facebook.

'Bruno is happy to be home, but is definitely not himself,' she wrote on Sunday.
