A police dog is undergoing emergency medical treatment after being mauled by three other dogs in Auckland today.

A dog handler was tracking two burglars in Mt Wellington, south of the central city, when dogs came out of a property and attacked his dog Quake, police said.

The extent of the dog's injuries were not yet known and the handler got a cut wrist trying to stop the attack, TV3 said.

The three dogs had been taken by animal control.
