I was reading in the news about a Lebanon, IN police dog named Erik that attacked a mailman named Joe Luckey. The attack was completely unprovoked. And this is not my opinion. Even the police department says the attacked was unprovoked.
The dog has been suspended from police duty. They are going to have the dog checked for medical problems.
As much respect as I have for police officers, and police dogs, this dog should be destroyed. If this had been someones pet, and had attacked an innocent person as viciously as this completely unprovoked, the dog would be put down. The fact that this is a police dog shouldn’t alter the case.
I hope Jim Luckey gets a sizable settlement from the Lebanon police department. I have seen pictures of his face, and he got pretty chewed up. The guy is probably lucky to be alive!!!!

9/5: I recently sent an email to the Lebanon Police Department inquiring about the status of the police dog. I have thusfar not recieved a reply. I have seen no further news about it either.
