A Missouri sheriff’s deputy was rushed to a hospital and underwent surgery Tuesday after he was attacked by a dog while serving a civil summons, authorities said.
When no one answered the door at the residence, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department deputy noticed a side door that was partly opened, FOX 2 NOW of St. Louis reported.

As the deputy approached the door, the dog emerged from the rear of the house and attacked the deputy, latching onto his face.
Later, the dog bit into the deputy’s left arm, according to the station. The deputy was able to reach his weapon and shot the dog once, allowing the deputy to free himself.
The department posted an image to Facebook showing the deputy’s blood-soaked uniform and bulletproof vest.
The homeowner told police the dog was a pitbull, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The animal was expected to survive, but Animal Control officials will decide what happens next to the dog.
The unidentified deputy, a 27-year department veteran, required surgery to address his injuries, which included a puncture wound near one of his eyes and a heavily damaged lip, the paper reported.
Good doggy! I hope you heal quickly. Animal control, stick it, you got no say in sh*t in anybody’s affairs.
Poor puppy…….
Hope the majority of that blood is cop’s blood. That dog was doing his JOB! And, the regulators best leave that pup alone, as he has done nothing but his JOB!
Need a GoFundMe to get a dog lawyer to keep him out of the pound.
Good dog!
Was the dog tested to see if it contracted anything from the pig?
If it displays any symptoms that include immediate violence, murder, rape, theft, sadism, power trips, the want to violate your Rights and be held unaccountable under any and all circumstances, it may be infected. If so, it may be a trans-pig dog and should seek immediate medical attention. Ask YOUR Dr. if 230gr .45 is right for you.
Poor puppy. Hope it’s ok.
Dog was standing his ground
He belonged there , the pig did not
The bullshit story about the side door looking open is inconsequential
He was there to serve papers
No one was there to receive
That means quit being a lazy Fuk and come back
That doesn’t mean enter the dog and home owners domain
You had no warrant
If they put that dog down than the pig needs to be put down too
Tit for tat
Wouldn’t be nothin , if you didn’t start something
Sue the fkin prick for putting your dogs life in jeopardy
Nope I ain’t playin
“The bullshit story about the side door looking open is inconsequential”
That part was huge! Going near that door was trespassing. The dog was not only defending his home but undoubtedly feared for it’s life once it noticed who was there.
Wonder if they follow up with what they do to the guy for the dogs actions. Probably an obit.
Not Blood, more like coolaid or grape drink
Unchallenged.
Blood dries much darker than that.
Think of all the Karma this provided
To all the people that got a Pigs dog siccked on them , because the cowards needed an innocent animal to further their oppression agenda
Too bad the dog didn’t get to the jugular
