(1) Based on the location and date in the question, this is assumed to refer a dog attack on a police officer, which is a matter that is currently being jointly investigated by ACT Policing and Domestic Animal Services (DAS). As this is an active case, it is not appropriate to provide further information at this time.

(2) ACT Policing are currently preparing a brief for the Director of Public Prosecutions. The attacking dog has been seized and remains impounded at DAS. As this is an active case, it is not appropriate to provide further information at this time.
