WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Alaska State Troopers say one of their trained dogs came to the aid of an officer assaulted by a suspect in Wasilla.
The unnamed suspect has not been charged.
The officer Monday night responded to a report of a fight at a home. When he arrived, he saw a man on a porch who looked like he had been in a fight.
As they spoke, the man began to fight the trooper and both fell off the porch. The trooper says he warned the man to stop or he would free the dog.
The fight continued and the officer by remote control released the dog from his patrol car.
The dog, “Blazer,” subdued the suspect. The officer and the suspect were treated for injuries at Mat-Su Regional Hospital.
