A Montana police officer was forced to kill a K-9 from another department after the animal attacked a man and couldn’t be stopped using “multiple non-lethal methods,” officials said. The victim was taken to a hospital after the attack at about 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving with serious but not life-threatening injuries, police said. Montana Highway Patrol said the dog, named Mike, had been with the agency for nearly three years and was a “full-service police utility dog, trained in the areas of narcotics detection, article search, area search, tracking, and apprehension.” The dog freed itself from its kennel and bit a man doing yard work nearby, the agency said. It was staying with a highway patrol canine handler who wasn’t its typical handler, the agency said in a Dec. 3 news release. JUSTICE FOR MIKE
