"Man bites dog" is news. "Dog bites man" is not. But how about if both dog and man are members of the police force?
It happened in Niagara Falls just this week. A cop (man) was chasing a miscreant (ditto) and got him cornered in a blind alley. Then the cop (man) sicced his partner (dog) on the alleged perp. For some reason the police dog bit the policeman. The criminal was caught anyway, apprehended while rolling on the ground laughing.
Local police chief William "Old Bill" Knacker puts the confusion down to the "new look" police being allowed to have beards and being dressed in black uniforms, rather than the old blue. "The dogs are trained to attack scruffy-looking people dressed in black," he said. "You can understand the similarity. Try to see it from the dog's point of view."
