An update on the police dog story in the HuffPo (I know, I know!) from yesterday.

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/04...n_9611284.html

Long story short: kid recovering, no answers yet, parents considering legal action, want the dog put down

And this -- don't know if it's just shabby reporting or the police actually 'said' this, but...

"Police are waiting for the dog to calm down after the high-stress incident before launching an investigation."

What the hell is that supposed to mean? They going to interview the dog, get his side of the story?

Also...

Calgary police Chief Roger Chaffin said in a press conference that it's unlikely the young dog will be euthanized.

"This is a rare occurence," Chaffin said. "All of our handlers have families and these dogs co-exist with children."


That sounds just a little confusing. Would your average dog, if it chased a boy into his own home and sent him to the hospital with bite wounds, be euthanized? I would hope so.

One "rare occurrence" like this is probably enough.
