Guy I know here in town, (have ridden with him in the past), is walking along the street about 3pm Monday.
Somehow he becomes involved in an RCMP foot pursuit of two young male suspects (rumor has it there was a sled theft in progress), and he, being the hero type that he is, decides to help the police bring these young perps to justice !
At one point the suspects enter an open area, and the RCMP dog handler who is also involved in the chase decides to loose the German Shepherd, after following protocol and shouting out a warning to the two suspects to freeze as the dog will take them down if they continue to flee.
Good samaritan, meanwhile, either ignores or does not hear the warning in the adrenaline-pounding heat of the moment, and continues to run into the area...whereupon he is appraised by the highly-trained K9 dog as an immediate threat, and is promptly attacked and subdued.
"Milkbone" McMullen was taken to the regional hospital and medevaced to Edmonton with lacerations to the arm and leg. Apparently he will be fine, and the media reports stress the dangers and risks to the public of becoming involved or interfering with police activities.
"Scooby Snack" returns from Edmonton soon and will no doubt have a newfound respect for the K9 officers and their partners.
