Seems like at least one reader can see things that aren't published. The officer didn't say the dog bit him...he said it tried to bite him. Trust me, one try would be all it would take for me to shoot the dog. I was bitten and I had to take the rabies shots back when the series was 14 days long. On the Cherokee Bus every day from East Brainerd to the doctor's at Tepper's and back again. I will NEVER be bitten again. Before you folks criticize someone for doing something you don't understand try doing the Officer's job for a week.
