K9 Recovering After Being Stabbed Multiple Times

Las Vegas, NV – A K9 with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) is recovering after being stabbed repeatedly on March 29. The three-year-old Belgian Malinois, Enzo, was assisting in a call at an apartment building on S. Las Vegas Blvd. where a suicidal man was barricaded.

The man was armed with a knife, was barricaded in an apartment, and had started a fire. The man refused to exit the apartment, so officers deployed Enzo in an effort to apprehend the man with “less lethal munitions.” The dog was stabbed multiple times while attempting to get control of the man.

Officers were eventually able to disarm the man and get him into custody, and Enzo was rushed to a veterinarian for emergency surgery.

On Sunday, the LVMPD let worried Facebook followers know that Enzo was doing better.

Enzo continues to improve. Hours after the Sunday announcement, LVMPD wrote:

FEELING BETTER!

K9 Enzo continues to recover and is happy to see his handler! Other than some minor maintenance on stitches and wound care, Enzo is in good spirits and getting lots of attention.
