Runaway Kansas Police Dog Bites 14-year-old on Face, Chest
Authorities say a runaway Kansas police dog bit a teenager on the face and chest.
Wichita, Nov 19 (AP) Authorities say a runaway Kansas police dog bit a teenager on the face and chest.
The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post that the German shepherd, named Bocephus, disappeared Monday night.
Someone found the dog, put him on a leash and walked around a neighborhood in an unsuccessful search for his owner.
The person then returned home, and Bocephus was placed in the bedroom of a 14-year-old boy. The teen took the dog for a walk the next morning and was bit while removing the leash.
The post says the boy was treated at a clinic for minor injuries. Lt. Tim Myers says the dog will return to service after a 10-day quarantine, which is standard after a bite. Police don't know how the dog got out. (AP)
