An American Stafford Terrier mix, not usually known as an aggressive breed, attacked a teenage boy last week and the officer that came to his aid. Police say the boy suffered several lacerations on his arm and legs and lost a lot of blood but is expected to be okay.

The boy was visiting a neighbor who was dog-sitting the animal at the time of the accident. The neighbor and another individual fled the home and ran next door, carrying the injured boy. They say the dog continued to chase them and attacked the boy again.

When police officers came, the dog charged at them. An officer shot and killed the animal.
