Earp, este cão policial da Polícia de San Diego, Califórnia, quase sangrou até morrer, após ter sido esfaqueado na garganta por um suspeito assassino armado de faca, e está se recuperando e ganhando força, diz o seu cuidador.
O sargento Jess Havin disse que Earp, o pastor alemão de oito anos está se saindo notavelmente bem e deverá ter suasu suturas retiradas esta semana.
Havin espera que Earp possa retornar ao patrulhamento ao menos um pouco, antes de se aposentar da unidade K-9 (Unidade de cães, um trocadilho que soa "canine" "kêi-nain"). Earp estava a um mês de se aposentar antes do sangrento incidente da semana passada. Ele foi esfaqueado enquanto a polícia tentava prender um homem cuja mulher, estranguladam havai pedido socorro.
Após esfaquear Earp, o homem teria esfaqueado um policial com a mesma faca de dez polegadas, e foi morto pelos policiais. Levado às pressas ao veterinário, cinco minutos após ter sido esfaqueado, o cão já estava sendo submetido à cirurgia.
The San Diego police dog that nearly bled to death after being stabbed in the throat by a knife-wielding murder suspect is recovering and regaining strength, the dog’s handler told reporters today.
Sgt. Jess Havin said Earp, the 8-year-old German shepherd, is doing “remarkably well” and is set to have his sutures removed next week.
Havin hopes Earp will be able to return to patrol duties at least for a while before the dog’s retirement from the K-9 unit. Earp was within a month of retirement before last week’s bloody incident.
Earp was stabbed while police were attempting to arrest a man whose estranged wife had made a call for help.
After stabbing Earp, the man allegedly lunged at police with the same 10-inch knife and was fatally shot by police. His wife was found dead in the living room of their home.
Havin rushed Earp to the Police Department veterinarian. Within five minutes of being stabbed, the dog was undergoing emergency surgery.
