A Lodi neighborhood is asking for answers after a family’s dog died after being tased by officers responding to a vicious animal report.

According to the Lodi Police Department’s media log, officers responded to a call regarding an animal on Sandpiper Circle at 2:40 p.m. Tuesday.

Anna Marquez said the family’s four dogs — a Yorkshire terrier and three huskies — were able to get out of her house and into the street.

She was able to recover the terrier, and two of the huskies returned home on their own. The third, Enzo, kept running, she said.

“I was running and looking for him, I went all over the neighborhood,” she said. “He went over to Sandpiper, and a man there said he wasn’t vicious. (Enzo) was playing with the other dogs.”

But according to Lodi Police Lt. Rick Garcia, Lodi PD received a call at 3:12 p.m. for an aggressive dog in the area of Sandpiper Circle. He said it was reported that the dog was a loose husky breed that had chased a family with young children into their residence after trying to bite them.

“After that, the dog began to try to get through side gate to attack the residents’ pet dog,” Garcia said. “When our animal services officer arrived in the area, they saw a male using a piece of wood to block this aggressive dog from him and his pet dog.”

Marquez said she spotted an officer in the area responding to an unrelated incident and asked for help in corralling Enzo, and was advised to call Animal Control.
