"Police dog bites officer instead of suspects during chase"

Usually, "dog bites man" is hardly a news story. But, then again, you would expect the canine police officers to bite the suspects.

From KENS-TV:

An officer was bitten by a police dog during a foot chase for two teen suspects that had stolen a vehicle Wednesday night.

...

During a search around the area for the suspects a canine became confused in the dark and bit a officer in the leg.

The officer's injuries are minor and he is expected to be okay.

I wonder if the dog was put on administrative leave.
