Police found themselves in hot pursuit of a man dressed as a dog early Halloween morning after an officer was flagged down in Fremont and told, "This guy just assaulted my friend. He went that way."
After following a chain of witnesses southbound on Phinney Avenue North, police found the suspect in a brown dog costume. His speech was slurred, his eyes were red and watery, and he seemed very intoxicated, according to the police report.
Fido told officers that a man had cut in front of him in the line to get into LTD Bar & Grill, called his girlfriend fat and threw a pitcher of beer on him. After those offenses, Fido punched the other man. The suspect agreed with police that it was strange for the man to have a pitcher of beer to throw while waiting in line to get into the bar.
The victim of the paw to the face, who had blood coming out of his nose and a possible jaw fracture, told police the fight happened inside the bar. Other witnesses confirmed that fact.
The victim said he approached the man in the dog costume to tell him how thankful he was that he was breaking up a fight in the bar. Ironically, Fido immediately punched him in the face without saying anything, according to the victim.
The victim, who police described as only slightly intoxicated, declined medics but said he would go to the hospital later.

Police found the victim as he was stumbling and bleeding on the sidewalk. He was covered in his own blood and had a deep laceration over his right eye.
The victim told police he had been followed and attacked by three men he did not know but believed to live in the area. He said the attackers stole his wallet and shoes.
The victim appeared highly intoxicated and continued to change his story as the interview went on, according to the police report.
