A man from Morrison, Kentucky reported to a police officer that his wife was bitten by a dog on Sunday morning when she was walking around their neighborhood. Upon a brief investigation, the officer found that the dog belonged to the couple’s neighbor.

The woman was walking on 210th street when a boxer-type dog suddenly ran to her and bit her. The dog broke the woman’s skin and left lacerations.

The officer who responded to the call found the dog at the woman’s next-door neighbor’s house. The dog had been on a chain in the backyard, however, the chain broke. The officer shot the dog with a Tazer when it began running at him. The neighbor was not home during the incident.
