Man charged for assaulting police dog

[Catherine]

A man in Edmonton, fleeing the police, assaulted the police dog that stopped him.
He has now been charged under Quanto's Law. Quanto was a police dog who was killed in the line of duty. A new law was created to make it a more serious crime to hurt a service animal.

I am glad they have more legal protection for police dogs. No dog should ever be assaulted, but it is worse when it is a dog who is doing his job.
