Just because it's a dog/cat/python/goldfish, doesn't make it's life any less valuable. What about those people who regard their pets as their children? (As I do).
Where does it stop then? What if an elderly grandmother/father were being rushed to the hospital because of a life-threatening situation? Could the officer then say "Well, they've lived 70+ years, they've had a good run. Gimme your license and registration"?
I too would have said "Bugger this for a game of soldiers" and gone on to the vet. Considering the alternatives the owners offered to the officer (leave the driver with the officer and let the passenger drive on), he was completely unreasonable and unfeeling.
If I had been in that situation, I would have slapped a lawsuit on the officer faster than you can say "Fido".
