Police dog bites three-year-old girl

A three-year-old Christchurch girl is recovering after she was bitten by a police dog that was chasing a suspected criminal.

The child required medical attention and has bite marks around her waist from the attack, which occurred yesterday afternoon in Addington.

Deisa Daufa said she was walking to a dairy from her Addington home with granddaughter Annie-Rose when police appeared in pursuit of a man.

"The dog ran up by us and went for my baby as I'm still holding on to her hand." Daufa said the incident occurred quickly and gave them both a fright. She protected Annie-Rose's face from the dog as police dog-handlers tried to get the dog off her.

The officers were "very nice" and took Annie-Rose to a surgery for treatment, she said.

"They said 'sorry' straight away," Daufa said. "The police didn't want that to happen. I am not angry. I don't want to make a big fuss out of this. It's not too bad. She's OK."

Yes you SHOULD make a big fuss about this because that dog should be put down! Why is there a different law for dog owners and police handlers? There are far too many "incidents" with police dog handlers. Check out the article on this blog Dog Challenge Issued to Police

Annie-Rose was at home playing and laughing as usual last night and would return to the surgery today to have her dressings replaced, Daufa said.

A police spokesman was not able to comment on the incident last night.

Well I want to hear about this 'incident'. A police dog should NOT bite little girls!!
