After Bungle was returned to his owners on Friday, the Northamptonshire Police stood by their decision to seize Bungle. In a press release, Chief Superintendent Chris Hillery explained that despite the public outcry, he thinks that the officer's actions were proportionate.
"To be absolutely clear, I fully support the officers’ actions in this case, the dog was unattended in a live carriageway and was aggressive to those present resulting in the officer being bitten and receiving injuries that required hospital attention," Hillery said.
He also stated that the decision to release Bungle was "in no way [...] impacted by the media."
