If I understand the question properly, the question is, if I happen to see a dog accompanying a law enforcement officer and I assault that animal, do I fall within the scope of this legislation? The legislation is very specific. It speaks of a law enforcement animal and defines what a “law enforcement animal” is. It is an animal that is specifically trained to assist a law enforcement officer and is actually engaged in assisting that law enforcement officer at the time that it is assaulted or killed.
