The evening attack happened on Neptune Avenue in Seagate. Police said they were at the address on reports that a wanted individual was there; when they approached, he ran in the house and the dogs ran out.
Neighbors said the dogs are sweet and couldn't believe either would bite anyone.
Two officers were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
