A police K-9 came to the rescue of an officer who was being ambushed by three men and the dog most likely saved his life, authorities said today.
Deputy Todd Frazier was traveling along a remote stretch of Highway 90 in Pearlington, Mississippi, on Monday when he saw a blue Lincoln Town Car at a deserted rest stop, said Sheriff Ricky Adam of the Hancock County Sheriff's Department.
The driver of the vehicle looked as if he wasn't moving, so Frazier, a three-year veteran of the department, pulled over in order to check on him, Adam told ABC News.
"Two individuals surprised Deputy Frazier from the shadows and an altercation ensued," Adam said. "One cut him across the forehead with a razor, one choked him, and one grabbed his legs to carry him to the edge of the woods."
Frazier was able to hit a button to release his K-9, Lucas, a black Belgian Malinois, from his car, Adam said. Lucas bit the attackers, who then tried to flee in their car.

Dog bites hurt like the dickens. Were the attackers Amish?

Gotta love the Malinois! Very hyper dog and always willing to bite.
Oh yeah! Reminds me of post op doggie-cam vids from “over there”. Great entertainment! With a mini Rip It, of course.
Good job Lucas, but don’t forget to bark like the dickens when your human steps out of the cruiser in that hot Mississippi Sun!!
Oh cute little puppy. I could hug him.
But he might rip my throat out.
Good job!
Straight razor as a weapon equals Amish, yes.
