FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) — Fort Worth police are searching for a man who they say shot and killed a dog during a robbery Monday afternoon.
"I would characterize that as person that just really doesn't care," said Officer Tracy Carter, spokesperson for the Fort Worth Police Department. "They're very emboldened, right? To come behind the counter, to interact with a dog that's protecting their owner, again it's something that we know this person, if you're going to do that – who knows what you're going to do to someone else?"
At 1:30 p.m. Jan. 2, police were sent to a robbery call at a convenience store located at 6001 N. Main St.
Surveillance video shows the suspect attempting to rob the store before being confronted by store clerk Jacki Anderson's dog, Peanut.
Peanut, who would have turned 13 this year, is seen trying to protect Anderson, but was shot and killed by the suspect.
"Everybody says I am lucky to have my life, but he pretty much stole it from me right then," said Anderson. "My baby girl was my best friend, and that store that I can longer step foot in after practically living there for nine years was my life. All those people I saw everyday... that I can no longer speak to because I don't want to relive it. My happiness. My contentedness -- he stole it all. He left me a complete mess. Best friendless jobless and scared. I sleep with the lights on for what little bit of sleep I get. He changed my whole life, I don't believe he should have his."
The suspect was wearing what appears to be a light-colored hoodie, gray sweatpants, white sneakers, and a black backpack.
Anyone with information or who knows who this suspect is, is asked to contact the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-392-4115.
