He tried coming in through a dog door early Thursday and got a shot - but not the kind that protects against rabies.
Scott Frankhauser attempted to enter a home near 5100 South and 2900 East, where his estranged wife and children are living.
But the home's owner, seeing that the creature crawling through the dog door was not a canine, shot Frankhauser, said Salt Lake County sheriff's Sgt. Rosie Rivera.
Frankhauser, 33, was treated at Cottonwood Hospital for injuries to his forearm and later booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of two counts of burglary and one count of theft, Rivera said.
The homeowner was not arrested but the shooting remained under investigation Thursday afternoon, she said.
