CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A pit bull mix in Tennessee has been sentenced to obedience training after his dogged attack on a local police car.
Winston didn't bite anybody, but he mauled a Chattanooga police car in what might have been a confused attempt to take a bite out of crime. The persistent pooch managed to tear off a section of the front bumper and damage the tires.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that a judge ruled that Winston had been a very bad dog. He was sentenced to obedience and canine good citizen classes, and he'll have to wear a tag that says he is "potentially dangerous."
Charges against his owner will be dismissed if the classes are completed successfully

May I sugggest a Korean cooking class???
I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.

You are good.
any idea which breed kills more folks versus which attacks more police cars?
I saw the dog easily ripping the car apart. GM???
Thanks, I try... :)
Yeah. Seems like Chet is telling us that everyday
Winston tastes good?..............
I don’t know if they keep stats on police car attacks, but they’re gonna have to start.
Well, I have to admit, I've never seen a dog rip a cop car to pieces like that... I'd say this one wasn't rare, it was one of a kind!
Scary to watch that clip, but funny as hell nonetheless...
I’m not a pit bull fan, but I’ll bet the dog does better than some people who are ordered to attend classes.
Car Cam of attack with two other dogs joining in on the fun!

Dogs often chase cars but rarely catch one.
Dogs attacking vehicles are rare.
Most police cars are Ford Vics.
Calling Cesar Millan!
Yeah. And too bad that the two legged dogs don't have to wear a sign: "potentially dangerous."
