Officer shoots police dog

A Baltimore police office shot a police dog that might have mistaken the officer for a suspect. Police said the K-9 unit on Sunday was helping hunt for a motorist that jumped from a car when a German shepherd named Blade began to attack an officer coming from a different direction. The officer did not realize Blade was a police dog and shot the dog in self-defense. Blade was rushed to an animal hospital and was recovering.
