FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A man who said he felt threatened by a Doberman shot and killed the dog.

The man told police when they arrived that he was walking his dog and a gate had been left open. He says a Doberman-type dog charged at him, causing the man to shoot the dog because he thought the Doberman was going after his own dog.
