Favor Turns Foul When Pa. Police Dog Attacks Girl

You have to remember this was a freak accident as the mother of the girl probably did not realize the dog when she opened the BACK door of the police cruiser( where a child would normally sit). I beleive this was a complete freak accident and I'm glad that the officer and mother got the dog under control and that the little girl is ok.

Way too much going on here. All I have to say is I hope everyone recovers quickly and no lasting harm was done and I hope the officer and his K9 partner do NOT have to worry about their jobs after this.

IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BULLDOG, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE WANTED IT PUT DOWN.

The dog protecting the inside of his work area.............He was more then likely trained to protect the car.......The officer should of realized this could be a problem!

A police K9 is NOT a trained attack dog!!! They are trained K9 OFFICERS. A junk yard dog would be closer o the description of trained attack dog and even using trained there is a stretch. Accidents happen and there isn't always someone to blame

Whether the animal is a working dog or domestic owned pet, I have found from experince in my military and civilian life, owning several varieties of dogs, that they all can still be at some point in their lives, unpredictable or moody. Their brain is like a 2 year old child. They are always very protective of owners,handlers and their families and never to be taken for granted. In this case, something the dog noticed or didn't like, alerted him and elevated his sense of attack response, resulted in the bite incident. You may never even know what it was that was the neurostimulus responsible

there are so many things wrong here
