Police dog stabbed

This sucks...

A 'confused' man stabbed a police dog in Krimpen aan den IJssel (NL) on Monday, the police said. The animal, Biko, was treated by a vet for its injuries. The 34-year-old man became violent when he was visited by health workers and the police. He threw a gas bottle and threatened them with a knife. The police dog was brought in when he threatened to start a fire.

So, there's a fire threat and who do they send in? The dog! WTF! Another sad example of treating animals like they're nothing more than "objects" for human use!!
