Retired K9 shot in his own home!
I seriously just want to cry.
Why? I just don't understand how someone could do this. In case you're afraid to watch, he is alive. http://cbs12.com/news/top-stories/st...37c4cba953728a

Here's the text. GREENACRES-- A Highway Patrol trooper's pet dog, a retired K-9 named Drake, is recovering after being shot repeatedly during a break-in at the trooper's home. A CBS 12 news crew got to see Drake moments after he underwent hours of surgery at Simmons Veterinary Hospital in Greenacres, on Tuesday. Dr. Ken Simmons called the shooting of the dog an obvious attempt to kill the animal. Drake was shot in the top of head, neck, a front leg, and a back leg. Simmons says had the bullet to the head hit somewhere else, the wound could have been fatal. "That's the one that should have taken him right out," remarked Dr. Simmons, pointing out how the bullet entered above the dog's right eye, tore through his tongue, and exited below the jaw bone. The veterinarian added, "There's some speculation about whether the dog might have had the guy's hand in his mouth when he shot him, because he shot him at point blank range." The suspect likely was avoiding his own hand, when firing at Drake's head, Simmons said. The doctor says the trooper is understandably angry his dog was shot, but is grateful to the Forest Hill emergency clinic for keeping Duke alive, and that he continues to make progress. Dr. Simmons says he's amazed Drake was able to survive and come through it so far, but he has a long way to go. Donations for Drake's bills are being accepted at Simmons Veterinary Hospital.

Worked for me, and I'm in Canada - we usually have everything blocked!
That was horrible ... I'm so glad to hear that he is recovering.

@Kyleigh I noticed when I'd try to get hockey info from some Canadian sites, I would be blocked. I don't understand this. |
