FREMONT, Calif. (AP) – A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said.
The officer suffered minor injuries, including bites to his ankle, Detective Bill Veteran said.
The five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy’s home and rushed the officer in the doorway Thursday, authorities said. The teenager had been detained after the traffic incident.
The officer was treated at a hospital and returned to work less than two hours later.
Lorna, as a mail carrier, meets many dogs on her route. Back when she was a substitute, she came home one day and said she had been bitten by a doberman. Of course, I panicked, asked if she was okay, what happened, etc. She said it had run by her once and on the return had nipped her leg. I said “Doberman’s don’t just nip. You sure you’re okay?” That’s when she told me it was a MINI Doberman. I about slapped the snot out of her.
