Nobody is above the law… yeah right.
A police K-9 attacked a little girl at her birthday party. The dad saved her life.
This happened August 11, 2024. A Belgian Malinois, next door, named Ragnar climbed the fence into Nick and Bethany Dean's backyard in Castle Rock during a birthday party for their 2-year-old twins. The dog attacked their daughter Lily. Nick Dean and several others jumped on the dog, saving her life.
Lily suffered a broken femur. Nick walked away with severe injuries that affect him to this day; he says he lives in pain every single day.
The dog belonged to a Jefferson County Sheriff's deputy who lived next door. That deputy faced two misdemeanor charges. A Douglas County jury found him not guilty, withhis defense arguing he was immune from prosecution because he was performing his duties as a K-9 handler, even while at home.
