Stabbed police dog at Massey
A police dog operated on by Massey University veterinary surgeons last night was in a stable condition this morning. Ed, a two-year-old alsatian, was stabbed while trying to subdue a fugitive in rural Hawke's Bay yesterday.
Soft-tissue specialist Barbara Kirby, who operated on Ed for nearly three hours, said the knife the dog was stabbed with was at least 20cm long. He was stabbed twice, once into his diaphragm and the other into his chest, missing his heart by a millimetre, Ms Kirby said.
"He's a really lucky dog." MORE>>
Man, the way the media fell over on the story, you'd think that people loved dogs more than their own kind! Last night's 6 o'clock news had the visuals for about a good 4 minutes. That's long for TV.
Obviously, I love dogs. It is just interesting to see that some dogs are one side of the pendulum while the other dogs are way over to the other side. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
