The cop was a dick, but he was doing his job.
It would have been extremely negligent for him to let that guy get back behind the wheel in the state he was in. The lives other people on the road are far more important than that of any dog.
That said, he probably could have done something. He stated "Look at how many units are out here because you were being stupid", indicating that there were other cop cars. Why not have one of them transport the dog to the vet? He wasn't obligated to do so, and it would have been above and beyond the call of duty, but I'd like to think I'd have done it anyway.
