ARIZONA DEPUTY FORCED TO SHOOT HIS K-9 DOG

By Bob Walsh


 

This is an odd tale.  Cochise County Deputy Marshall John Coby was out and about on November 19 with Hawk, his K-9 partner.  For some reason that is not clear his dog attacked him, latching onto his leg and refusing to let go.  When the dog would not let go Coby gimped into the john, dragging the dog with him, in the hopes the calmer environment would get the dog to back off.  Didn't happen.  Coby shot the dog.  Coby was then airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries to his leg and ankle.

Coby is still off on medical leave.  The S.O. has contacted a dog behavioral specialist to investigate the incident.
