The officer was one of several canine unit officers who responded. She was bitten by one of the unit's dogs, Mirabelli said.



The officer was responding with other police to the area on the Northwest Side at about 3:45 a.m. when a woman was robbed at gun point by three people in a dark colored SUV on the 4500 block of North Christiana Avenue in the Albany Park neighborhood, Mirabelli said.
