Officer fires at three dogs during attack
By TIMES WIRES
Published March 7, 2007
RIDGE MANOR An off-duty Tampa police officer was attacked in Ridge Manor on Monday - by three dogs. Raymond Green was with his wife inspecting a property they own when the dogs rushed at them. One of the dogs, a Red Heeler, bit him on the calf. The dogs then retreated and got ready to rush at him again. So Green pulled out his pistol and fired at them. None of the dogs was hit, but the shot sent them running. Green wasn't able to identify the dog that bit him because there were two Red Heelers. So no one was given a citation. But two of the dogs were quarantined because their shot records were not up to date. Green's injury did not require medical attention.
