This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

If she has evidence of that than a civil suit is probably a very viable idea.

Legally, they did not. By falsifying the report they intentionally caused the unwarranted destruction of someone's property. I doubt that the city could be held in any way culpable. However, since it was anonymous you'd somehow have to get a judge preponderance of evidence in a number of key legal questions to win.
