Dog seriously mauls three family members, yanks free of police tasers,

[pnwmom]

and yet the dog is still alive -- the decision hasn't been made yet to euthanize the pit-bull mix.

How many times have police shot at human suspects, with much less regard for life?

Brenda Guerrero, 52, was trying to put the garment on the pit bull mix when it attacked, police said. Her husband, 46-year-old Ismael Guerrero, attempted to pull the dog off his wife and was himself bitten by animal.

Police said the couple's 22-year-old son, Harris, then got a knife and stabbed the dog in the head and neck in an attempt to stop the attack. Scarface then began attacking Harris. All three were able to escape into the house, leaving the dog in the backyard.

"Officers responding said the dog was pretty aggressive," said Eddy Durkin, a spokesman for the police department. "When they Tased the dog the dog was still pulling away and was able to release the prongs from the Taser."

When Animal Control officials and Tampa police arrived at the home, the dog was shot with a tranquilizer gun. After the dog got into the house, where there were two children in the back room, police officers deployed a beanbag gun and Taser to subdue the dog. The dog was eventually captured by Animal Control personnel by using a "catch pole."
