Suppose the dog is trailing a suspect, and its handler is 100’ yards behind it. If the suspect is “detained” by the dog, does it just get to chew on him while the officer catches up? Can the suspect defend himself in the interim? Would his instincts toward self-preservation be criminal?

Dogs aren’t people. We had one locally that caught a couple of porcupines while out tracking suspects. I don’t trust its judgement.

I don’t see what that has to do with this story.

There is no mention of the dog attacking; and no mention really of the perp deliberately shooting it. According to the article, he was shooting at the police.

Post the local article, we would like to read it.......Thanks
