An American bulldog attacked its owner violently while the two were on a walk last night in Mesa, police say, then ran away after taking a bullet from a cop's gun.

Just before 7:30 p.m., neighbors in the area of 11300 block of East Contessa saw the large, brown-and-white dog turn on the 22-year-old man, "apparently unprovoked," according to a write-up by Detective Steve Berry. The man suffered puncture wounds to his thigh, wrist and abdomen.
