The plaintiffs, Chris Arnoldy ("Arnoldy") and Rebecca Drummond ("Drummond"), have brought a civil action against the City of Manchester ("the City"), the Manchester Police Department ("the Police Department"), and Manchester Police Officer Stephen Coco ("Coco"). This action arises out of Officer Coco's alleged shooting of the plaintiffs' dog, "Toby," in a local park. The City and the Police Department move to dismiss all counts of the action. In addition, Coco has filed a motion to dismiss two of the counts.
