Ya, I bet there'd be no penalty if it were a civilian's dog.
I'll bet your correct. In my neck of the woods, the "K-9 officer" is to be afforded all the respect and dignity of any other police officer. Resisting arrest, or assault carries the same penalties as it would with any other police officer, human or not. I guess his barking at the K-9 officer could be considered a verbal assault. This wont go well for him........
The man doesn't have anything to worry about...unless it turns out that there was a municipal ordinance against barking at a dog already on the books. In that case, of course, pleading ignorance of the law will get him nowhere.
