Metro Police are looking for three men they say invaded a southwest valley home this month and shot the victim's dog before robbing the residence.

The men entered the home near South Rainbow Boulevard and Tara Avenue about 1:50 a.m. Aug. 16 and confronted the adult male resident, who was shown in surveillance video on the couch, police said.

One suspect wearing shorts and a T-shirt point a gun at the resident, who gets on the floor, and the suspect then shoots the dog, the video shows.

The dog is fine, Officer Michael Rodriguez said.

The other two suspects enter the home, where the men steal several valuables, police said.

The suspect who fired the shot is described as a heavy-set black man 20 to 30 years old, standing about 6 feet tall with braided hair, police said. He has a tattoo on the outside of his left bicep, police said.

The second and third suspects are black men about 5-feet-10. One of the men is 20 to 30 years old with a muscular build and short black hair, police said. The other is 18 to 25 with a thin build and braided black hair, police said. He may have a tattoo on the right side of his neck.
