You can watch the full incident here.

"The dog ran away from the officer, but Palmer fired three more shots at the wounded dog that was retreating from him." She was paralyzed after one bullet, but he just kept shooting her. He shot her four times," Tammie Kerns told Cleveland.com. Kearns told WKYC, "After she was shot one time in the street, he should have just let it go and let us get the dog and take her where she needed to be treated. But he didn't do that. She was crawling – useless, helpless – in the street. He continued shooting her as she was trying to come to safety, and he just kept shooting her three more times after the first time."

The dog's owner is not a neutral narrator here. The video clearly shows the dog running away because it was not paralyzed. And to me, her exaggerations take away from her credibility. Having said that, I do not see any justification for shooting a dog that's running away and not presenting a threat to anyone. Everybody, including cops, need to account for every round fired in anger. And in this case, I just don't see it and the cop ought to be fired.
