A large dog was stabbed with kitchen knives, tased, and shot before it stopped an attack on its owner and a police officer, only to get up and charge again before it was euthanized. The incident terrorized a quiet Boulder neighborhood Sunday morning.
Boulder Police released a short section of police-cruiser dash camera video of the attack which left its owner in the hospital with critical injuries. The video showed a neighbor apprehensively approaching the dog with long kitchen knives as the attack unfolded on a residential street.
When a Boulder police officer tased the dog, it turned on him and started chasing him up the street, the footage showed. The officer then shot the dog several times and began applying a tourniquet to the victim’s arms, only to be rushed by the dog a second time, according to police.
The family told Boulder police that the animal was an American Bulldog, but police are waiting to learn of its official breed from Colorado State University — where an necropsy is being performed.
