A Boston police officer shot and killed a dog after a fellow cop was attacked and bitten while arresting a suspect on Wednesday afternoon in Mattapan, according to police.

Police officers at the time were at 28 Michigan Ave., arresting a suspect who had multiple arrest warrants.

“After placing the suspect in custody, one of our officers was attacked by two dogs inside the house and bitten,” Boston Police said in a statement. “A second officer discharged their weapon striking both dogs.”

One of the dogs died, and the other dog was injured.

The police officer who was bitten and the cop who shot the dogs were both transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
