how not to teach your dog to "sic him!"

The Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias reported yesterday that a man bit a police officer following an argument over a "dangerous dog".

The 35-year-old man was walking his Pit Bull Terrier in Cova da Moura on Sunday, 10:15 am, when two police officers stopped him for not having a harness and muzzle on his dog.

The man refused to identify himself and proceeded to threaten the officers with his dog, turning the animal loose upon them. The dog ran away.

The police officers then attempted to subdue the man who fought back, breaking one officer's finger and biting the other on the wrist. Both officers were treated at Amadora-Sintra Hospital, reports the Metropolitan Command Police.

The man, who was arraigned in the Criminal Court of Lisbon yesterday, has been placed under house arrest while police continue to search for the missing pooch.
