Stabbed police dog to be released from vet on Sunday

PS: you can get charge for assaulting a police dog in Canada, at least in Vancouver BC

Kudos for that brave boy! I'm glad he made it through surgery. He deserves a long and happy retirement.

It's the same here in the US. I'm pretty sure assaulting a canine officer is treated exactly the same as if you were assaulting a human officer. They are a very important and revered part of our police force.

So glad Teak will be ok and will have the chance to enjoy his retirement w/ his family.
These dogs give so much. I love that he sleeps in bed w/ his people . Just goes to show how great these GSDs are. I wonder if he's fro, Carmspack?

I don't know what the laws are here, but every police dog should be called a police officer, and criminals who harm and/or kill them need to be charged with "assault", "murder", etc. of a police officer. (If it's not the law already) Have a long and relaxing retirement brave boy!
