Edit: I haven't heard this story any place else. I'm thinking it's not true.

Vice President Joe Biden's son Beau Biden died of brain cancer. You have to feel for any parent who buries a child, regardless of how you feel about politics and ideologies etc.
The Dude: And, you know, he's got emotional problems, man. Walter Sobchak: You mean... beyond pacifism?
Walter Sobchak: This guy f*cking walks. I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life

Notice how this (and most other articles) don't bother to tell you the assailants were black. What a great dog.
Hero K9 saves deputy from ambush attack USA TODAY NETWORK Therese Apel, The Clarion-Ledger May 28, 2015
Hero K9 Lucas, who helped rescue a Mississippi deputy from an ambush attack by three men, is recovering and expected to be "fine," Hancock County Sheriff's Department said.
"While Canine Lucas suffered a torn ligament, some broken teeth and road rash, we are happy to report that though he is still recovering, he is expected to be fine," the department wrote on its Facebook page on May 27.
The deputy, Todd Frazier, was beaten and cut with a box cutter in Pearlington, Miss., on May 18, Sheriff Ricky Adam said. If it wasn't for his K9 partner, a black Belgian Malinois named Lucas, they might have killed him.
"They told him they were going to slit his throat, and they were dragging him toward the woods," Chief Deputy Don Bass said, adding that authorities think the attackers meant to kill him and dump his body.
The incident began when Frazier got out of his vehicle around 10 p.m. to check on a blue Lincoln Town Car with a darker vinyl top parked in a rest stop. The driver sat inside alone with no lights on.
"When he got out of the car, two other people came out of the woods," Adam said.
It is not clear yet if the attack was related to recent threats by gangs to attack police on sight, Adam said.
Frazier suffered a 2 1/2-inch cut to his forehead and multiple bodily injuries. The doctor told the deputy it looked like the cut was made by a box cutter.
"The three of them were dragging him toward the wooded area, and he was able to break one hand free to activate the button that opens the (squad car) door and it released Lucas," Bass said.
The dog bit at least one of the suspects, potentially saving the officer's life.
"We don't know how many he got, we just know he had blood all over him," Adam said.
The pop mechanism for the door is only installed in two of the county's four K9 units, and was only recently installed, Bass said. He added that Frazier's experience was a "very near miss."
The suspects fled in the Lincoln, which police describe as possibly a 2000 model. At least one of the suspects will have serious dog bites and the suspects may have crossed into Louisiana.
Frazier was taken to Hancock Medical Center where he was treated and released Tuesday morning.
Bass said that the near miss was a wake-up call for the department.
"It hits us hard, it brings you to your knees," he said. "We're not a large agency, and all these guys have families. The main thing for anybody is to go home safe. We want you to go home at night. But it could happen to any one of them. The threat is here and the possibility is real."
It's not an ideal time to be a law enforcement officer, Adam said.
"We're under pressure every day. They can work 25 years in this business and do everything by the book and make one mistake and they're under the microscope."
