A young girl has been mauled by a police dog in Saskatoon as officers pursued suspects through City streets. The girl’s mother, Leslie Welder, said her daughter, Autumn Clifford, required many stitches to her abdomen to close wounds from deep bites. Autumn, 7, is said to be taking here injuries “pretty well.” A witness said that Autumn looked over and said ‘Oh, look! Puppy!’ She said the next thing they knew the dog was on the child, pulling her down to the ground and attacking her. Handlers immediately ordered the dog to release the girl and there is conflicting information as to whether this happened immediately or took took a few moments.
