May 2015

..."Hero K9 Lucas, who helped rescue a Mississippi deputy from an ambush attack by three men, is recovering and expected to be "fine," Hancock County Sheriff's Department said.
"While Canine Lucas suffered a torn ligament, some broken teeth and road rash, we are happy to report that though he is still recovering, he is expected to be fine," the department wrote on its Facebook page on May 27." The dog bit at least one of the suspects, potentially saving the officer's life.
"We don't know how many he got, we just know he had blood all over him,"

The release button is only on 2 of the 4 K9 cars and was only recently installed. I bet they are installing them on the other 2 cars today. It sounds like it was a very very close call.
