Two men and a dog are recovering from being stabbed in Santa Rosa Wednesday morning when burglars attacked them, police said.
At 3:10 a.m., Santa Rosa police received a report of a home invasion robbery on Flower Avenue.
A 24-year-old man who lives in a detached dwelling in the home's backyard awoke to find two armed suspects wearing ski masks in his bedroom.
The pair had a knife and a gun and they assaulted the victim, stabbing him in the arm, police said.
The home's other occupant, a 57-year-old man, said that four suspects entered the house while he was watching television.
The suspects stabbed the second victim and may have pistol-whipped him, police said.
The suspects were also seen attacking a dog, which later appeared to have been stabbed.
