A police dog has been shot and killed after it turned on its handler and attacked her
Superintendent Hassan Khan, of Lancashire Police, said:"This is never an easy decision for any officer to take, but police have a duty to act where necessary before any further injury is caused, whether to officers, or members of the public."These are highly trained, working dogs which do a skilled job, but like any dog can present a danger in certain circumstances.
"We know how much our dogs are loved by the people of Lancashire and beyond, as well as our own staff."
