The Los Angeles Police Department on Friday released body camera footage of an officer shooting and killing of a woman’s pet dog in an incident that has sparked an international outcry and raised questions about police use of force. The 2-year-old golden saint berdoodle, named Jameson, was shot dead by a police officer last Saturday outside the door of an apartment where he and another officer had arrived to investigate reports of a woman screaming, the police department said earlier this week. It was later found that the woman, Marie Marseille, was celebrating the New York Knicks winning the N.B.A. championship.
The former basketball player then pushed the aggressive dog away with his foot. Shortly after, the dog's owner allegedly appeared and struck Songaila with a heavy dog leash chain. The chain hit Songaila in the face, cutting his nose and head and chipping one of his teeth. The attacker fled the scene, while Songaila contacted the police. LRT reports that Šiauliai police have launched a pre-trial investigation into the incident. The suspect has not yet been detained and is currently being searched for by police.
Pablo Torre: “I believe that one of the more overlooked aspects of our collaboration with Wired is that MSG security boss John Eversole, according to his own Facebook photos that we found, is a cat person — or at least a cat-with-hot-pink-paw-covers-on-a-handgun person — and also that his boss, Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan, has such, quote, ‘disdain for dogs,’ according to a sworn affirmation by a former VP of MSG Security in a civil lawsuit against Eversole and Dolan’s company, that Eversole allegedly kept K-9 bomb-sniffing dogs away from Dolan when he was walking around the Garden.” “Which brings us now to all-time Rangers great Adam Graves in this team video from 2018.”
Pablo Torre: “Ranger was a thing on social media. Ranger went kind of viral at the time. This was 2018, 2019. Ranger was photographed with players, was on the Jumbotron, had the description ‘team’s best friend.’ And if you are now wondering how the team’s best friend could have coexisted with the team’s owner, good question. Because, as one former Garden official put it, quote, ‘There was definitely an effort to keep the dog away from James Dolan. Ranger would often stay beneath the desk of his handler in the office.’” “According to our MSG sources, however, there was a tipping point, which is when a bunch of the models who often sit in the vicinity of Dolan at games saw this adorable Labrador and started asking if they could bring their dogs.” “Now, MSG did not respond to our request for comment here, but former high-ranking Garden executives recall that right before they were going to introduce Ranger in person at a game, the team’s unofficial dog mascot, as one put it, was abruptly canceled. Dolan, in other words, had effectively banished an autism service puppy from the arena in addition to his human enemies.”
Dressed in all gray with a beanie and glasses, Tyrese Maxey explained that he was out of breath, feeling as if he had just played a full quarter of NBA basketball. Except, Maxey hadn't bounced any basketballs or attacked the rim. The Philadelphia 76ers star guard instead was directing multiple dogs through the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge Agility Show, a part of the 2025 National Dog Show.

Maxey participated in the agility course in a Nov. 16 show taping in front of roughly 15,000 spectators at the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. He ran two dogs -- Howie and Spike -- through the course, with his performance to air on NBC on Thanksgiving Day. Howie is an 8-year-old border collie, while Spike is a 2-year-old border collie papillion. "It was really fun. They got me out here sweating. Like I just played a whole quarter. I think I'm going to stick to staying on the court," he said on the NBC broadcast.

Though their bond couldn’t have been predicted, a dog with Haven’s unwavering loyalty—and the size and aptitude for outdoor adventures—is what Booker was hoping to find when he began his search for a four-legged companion. His canine preference did not fall on deaf ears: “Bro, are you still looking for a dog?” Booker’s former teammate Jamal Crawford texted one day. “He had retired, but he remembered me talking about wanting to get a dog,” Booker says. Crawford, who owns Haven’s cousin, urged Booker to look into cane corsos. “Everything I read up on them I loved,” says Booker, “and yeah, the rest is history.”
Dwight Howard is devastated. And he wants answers. The former NBA great and current player for the Big 3’s L.A. Riot on Wednesday wrote on Instagram that his dog, Sunday, died in an apparent hit-and-run accident on June 18 in Suwanee, Ga. Howard said that he was visiting New York when he received the tragic news that his beloved Belgian Malinois “got loose and was hit by a car that kept going.”
“I’m devastated because you were the dog that never left my side, the dog that stuck to my hip at all times, and the one time you wander off without me being there someone takes you away from me,” Howard wrote. “Who could be so heartless to do this to such an innocent girl with no remorse.”
