万花筒 2012-06-28&06-30 人咬狗事件：罪犯咬伤警犬

 Two-year-old Maxx is more than just a dog. He's an officer with the Wilmington Police Department worth about 15,000 dollars. And this weekend he was injured in the line of duty.

When he was biting the dog, there was something we haven't seen. Or we had something happen. Yes, our dog do get insulted but no one's ever tried to cannibalize one of our animals before.

Maxx's accused attacker is Travis Glaspie. Police wanted the 22-year-old on outstanding warrants for possession of a firearm by felon¹ and firing into an occupied vehicle. Officers tracked him down Sunday afternoon after multiple run-ins just this month. Glaspie ran and officers let Maxx take over.

During their struggle, Glaspie bit Maxx's ear so badly. The dog had to be rushed to the vet² for emergency stitches. 

Cpl. Pellegrino saw Maxx's ear severed³ into two. The injury required more than 15 stitches.

We are going to have to put him back into some scenario⁴ training once we get back to work just to make sure we are not going to have any future problems from the situation that did occur, from the assault.

Maxx's been on the streets since February and has only been used to catch a suspect three times. Pellegrino says dogs are used to protect officers. They are not trained to kill. Instead their job is to catch criminals who try to run, just as Maxx did Sunday.
