As for the perp, yes Boo Boo it's them.
I hope he pulls through and is sent to a happy retirement.
My police force finds homes for retired K-9’s and dogs that fail the training. Not every police force is as humane as that, so I hope his is.
Stabbing a K-9
Story shudda eneed with “the suspect died in a hail of gunfire from the responding officers....”
Ya know - happy ending and all.
These stories rip your heart apart.
Okay, those photos are horrifying! I did not realize he lived. I feel much better. I would think he would be retired. He deserves steak & cuddles for the rest of his life ❤️
I’m against using dogs to subdue violent criminals. Search and find are ok but not violent crimes. If dogs are your best friends why send them to such a dangerous mission ?
I hate to say it, but the dogs are trained to think of it as a game. The hope is that the suspect won’t have time to hurt the dog before the officer gets there.
Prayers up for Enzo to have a happy retirement.
Enzo means Larry in Italian. Glad to hear that he survived.
I hope the puppy is okay.
If you ever work at a veterinarian’s office and an officer comes in to put down his dog it’s heartbreaking.
No clinic employee wants to see this.
The perp should have still been in jail. The justice system sux and has blood upon those hands who release these dangerous scums.
That video is a real tear jerker. Good that the K-9 officer survived, too bad the perp made it.
And here's to a speedy recovery for Enzo, the miracle K9.
Here’s a fairly detailed video put out by the Las Vegas Police Department about the stabbing and the treatment Enzo received, spoiler, Enzo lived and is back on his feet.
Based on the video, he was in really bad shape, but survived after the tremendous treatment he received.

Agreed 100%.
A bullet would have taken care of the barricaded perp.And we would not be wasting thousands on prosecuting the POS.
NO need to make a dog take the hit . Pooch should have been on a long leash with an officer who had his gun drawn.
My worthless 2 cents in hind sight.
Any human being has a right to defend its life, even violent criminals, in fact I expect someone to defend their life, don’t we call that ‘instinct’?
I agree with you. And as another said they should not be used to attack, but for the reason, no one should be attacked by a dog.
I do not want to see any animal of person to get hurt, but all these feels for the poor dog, hang the guy attitude - come on - it is just a dog, get real.
You won’t see the FR cynophobics on this thread.
You are right.
I don’t think anyone would let a dog maul them if they had the means to defend themselves.
Blue line people will disagree.
I am conflicted by this. I am all for using dogs in warfare. They serve an invaluable purpose. They are there to kill and maim, or be killed and maimed, so the rules are relatively clear. When a dog goes willingly into a tunnel to look for the enemy and a human doesn’t have to, I fully support that and hope the best for the dog.
When I see these 6 AM raids on houses by SWAT teams to arrest someone who is a political opponent (as we have seen frequently in the last three years) I am less sanguine about these people using dogs against the citizenry.
But I will say this: I know an animal is an animal and a human is a human, and many say an animal should never take precedence over a human, but I can think of people I have seen in my life on this Earth who, if they were drowning in a river and I had a choice between saving them or saving the animal, I would save the animal hands down.
There are people on this earth who act like animals, and as such, are no better than animals.
