The pit bull was shot and killed.
It all happened after 4 p.m. Monday afternoon as authorities were serving a felony warrant to Nickole Trappman.
Investigators say the dog's owner, David Trappman, gave the dog commands to attack when deputies arrived.
Aloy said the dog latched onto a deputy's thigh. That's when another deputy fired his gun and killed the dog. He added the deputy who was bitten received several punctures and lacerations to his leg.
According to an incident report, when deputies searched the home, they found Nickole hiding behind a hot water heater and under a clothes basket.
David and Nickole were both arrested Monday afternoon.
"It happens quite frequently. We go to residences where there are dogs, it is a part of the job, but it all depends on how you approach it. We go to a situation expecting there to be dogs, as long as you approach a situation like that you expect there to be a dog and you treat it like there is a dog."
Channel 3 News learned Tuesday afternoon the deputy was treated and released from the hospital.
David Trappman remains in the Santa Rosa County Jail on a $61,000 bond.
