Thomasville, GA : Andrew Childs may face disciplinary action for shooting his neighbor's dog.

Thomasville's police chief is expected to decide what action to take against Officer Andrew Childs.

The dog Childs admits to shooting survived, but may lose a leg.

Glen Bierman used to go bike riding with his dog Ford.

On only three legs, the one and a half year old pit weimaraner mix can still hop on the platform at the front of the bike.

But Bierman has stopped taking Ford on rides because of his bad leg.

How did it happen?

Bierman says he was working in the woods near his Cairo home September 23rd.

"I heard these gunshots and I heard one shot, then I heard the second shot, then the dog just went crazy screaming. It was just a horrible, horrible sound," said Bierman.

Bierman says four more shots followed.

He found Ford limping down a trail bleeding.

Bierman says he confronted his neighbor, Thomasville Police Officer Andrew Childs, who told him he shot Ford because he thought he was a stray.

"His leg is destroyed, good chance of losing it," said Bierman.

An x-ray of Ford's leg shows it's being held together by pins and Bierman must clean the wound every day.

Thomasville Police Lieutenant Kathy Royal sent this letter to Bierman Saturday stating an internal investigation into the shooting has been finished.

She wrote, "I have found there to be sufficient evidence of policy violations as it relates to your complaint."

The file has been turned over to Thomasville's police chief for review and possible disciplinary action.
