This is the shocking moment a deputy's bodycam captured the officer shooting a dog dead.

Pasco County Sheriff's office reported it has received death threats since footage emerged of Deputy Kerry Kempink killing the dog while responding to call.

The video, shot on Kempink's body camera, showed the deputy jumping a fence as he went to investigate a burglar alarm going off at the property last Friday.

This is the shocking moment a deputy from Pasco County Sheriff shot a dog dead while responding to a call

He started to walk towards the home, but was stopped by two black Rottweilers which had ran out towards him across the garden.

Within seconds of them approaching, he shot the closest dog, 18-month-old Cowboy which is barking at him. He then turned his gun on the other which ran off.

The horrified owner, Carla Gloger, appeared moments later and shouted at the officer: 'They're not even vicious.'

Kempink responded: 'He came right at me ma'am. I got it on camera, I got it on camera.'

Shocking moment police deputy shoots dead pet Rottweiler

The video, shot on Kempink's body camera, showed the deputy jumping a fence into the property where he as then confronted by two dogs

Within seconds he had shot the first Rottweiler which was barking at him and turned his gone on the other

But Ms Gloger told the deputy: 'He came right at you but not to hurt you.'

Kempink then called his station but the owner, who was becoming more and more upset, shouts for him to put her pet out of its misery.

Tragically, when the dog sees the officer lift his gun, he attempts to crawl away.

Ms Gloger shouted for Kempink to wait, and said: 'Is he ok? No, he's not.

'Shoot him all the way,' she told him. 'Kill him.'

Another loud bang can be heard yet the devastated owner continued pleading with the officer to shoot him.

'Shoot him again. I can hear him suffering, shoot him. He's just a puppy.'

The dogs' devastated owner then comes out, and told the deputy 'they're not even vicious' before begging him to put him out of his misery

Pasco County Sheriff's office reported it had received death threats since the shocking footage emerged

Sheriff Chris Nocco has defended his deputy's actions, claiming he acted in self-defense.

'I don't think an Olympic runner could have out run those Rottweilers, I don't think he was in a situation to defend himself,' he told 10 News.

But Ms Gloger, who trains and shows her Rottweilers, said: 'If he's coming to protect my property he took my most valuable property away from me.

'I can't replace my dog that's my family that's my son.'

She says she is now looking at pursuing legal action.

Sheriff Nocco added that police had received multiple calls to that property in the past and hadn't known what to expect. Kempink had then shot the dog again at the behest of the homeowner as an act of kindness, he added.

He said they were taking the death threats made to the department very seriously.
