Alyosha Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Maybe he'll learn to keep his fists to himself one day... http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/police-dog-bites-suspect-on-penis/2015283/ A MAN who was bitten on the penis after allegedly punching a police dog in the face is in police custody. Zane Thomas Smith had been on the run for several days after an alleged robbery at Mooloolaba, where he allegedly bashed a woman and stole a motorcycle. The 23-year-old Peregian Springs man was tracked to a house in Pomona, where a police dog sniffed him out hiding in a hallway cupboard. The dog bit Smith on the penis, piercing his main blood vessel, after he allegedly punched the dog in the snout. Smith spent a week at Nambour General Hospital under heavy police guard to repair the puncture wound. He was taken to Maroochydore Police Station and charged with serious assault, drug possession, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, and two charges of obstructing police on the weekend. The charges were adjourned to September 23. A police spokesman said the experienced police dog was under control of the handler during the Pomona incident. He said the dog responded as it had been trained to respond. The incident was yesterday subject to an internal police review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Good on that police dog! He said the dog responded as it had been trained to respond. Are they trained to bite straight after a punch, or are they trained to go for that tender area in these cases?

Alyosha Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think that means they are trained to respond to being attacked, by returning it instead of backing down. He might have just been at a convenient height... Or inconvenient from the suspect's point of view I suppose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 If thats the only wound from the dog then the dog was rather well trained, particularly after getting a punch in the nose from an offender. Should have keep his legs shut :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Pity the dog bit him on his penis rather than biting off his testicles ∴ infertility. Good dog, but needs to brush-up on its directional bite-training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maeby Fünke Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'm guessing that the dog was responding in a way that he/she has been trained to do when attacked. I can't imagine them being trained to go for the crotch (but you never know)... I'd say the guy was crouching down or the dog meant to go for the arm but missed. Unfortunate for the guy though :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
