Tammy Bruce: Good news for one of our furry heroes and all of his humans. Prayers up for all!
A heroic police dog that was shot in the line of duty is heading home, one day after taking a bullet for his partner in South Florida.
K-9 Officer Casper “has done wonderful[ly]” and “is walking fairly well, all things considered,” veterinarian Michele Tucker said in a video released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
Casper was shot on Friday in Jupiter, Florida, after PBSO deputies encountered 46-year-old Philip O’Shea, who was wanted in North Carolina in connection with a robbery. O’Shea had an extensive criminal history and tried to flee from the officers, CBS affiliate WPEC-TV reported. MORE HERE
Casper probably thinks having to wear a lampshade on his head is worse than getting shot.
Good news.
Hopefully casper will be able to stay with his owner/handler after/during his recuperation. I don’t like reading that some ‘hope he finds a good home.’ What Casper did wasn’t out of hatred for the criminal, but out of love for and devotion to his companion. He deserves to continue to enjoy that company.
Mooch wore one of those cones to keep her from chewin on her balls.
Casper is a hero! Best wishes and prayers for a smooth recovery! Chewy bones all around!
Good job, boy!
