Last month, when McGowen got orders to shoot the dog, he refused: "Get somebody else." Then McGowen planned his biggest push. One morning two police cars and three of McGowen's cars cruised the tightly netted area. Neighbors took up positions near by. One of McGowen's men, armed with an air rifle loaded with a nicotine-tipped needle, climbed to the rooftop near the spot where Maverick liked...
