Newly obtained body-worn camera footage gives an inside look at lifesaving measures taken to keep a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office K-9 alive. The service dog was hit in a shootout between suspects and police.
Police animals are officers too. The fact they just started shooting with him so close to the car is dealing wild. Whoever shot him cop or not should be charged with attempted murder on an officer. I mean if a civilian shot the dog they would’ve got charged with attempted murder on an officer
@@YomamaYodaddyYobjtchassGranny yeah i kinda agree like why would they send the dog into the vehicle and then start shooting like that was the dumbest thing ever and watching the camera footage there is no telling whether the police hit him or the suspects hit him
@@zerodarkthirty7171 this is true but officers always have to yell “watch crossfire” and they do so in multiple body cam footage in different departments so it just feels like a lack of communication on their end
This is how most officers and k9s work, they also most of the time to to live with their handlers once retired whether that's by aging out of work or by medical retirement.
@@briansmith2160 BRIAN, don't be such a hor$eSA$$! There's nothing more deserving of compassion than an animal, be it dog, cat, W/E...and I think YOU KNOW that.
I nearly cried when I heard that he is now in a forever home with his handler. There is no better place for him to retire than in the home of the man who has been with him through everything and understands what he needs. I bet he still goes to the station and spends the day with everyone still.
K9 and their handlers live like any other owner/pet. The dogs live at home, along with the handler's family. The K9, while at home, behaves like any other dog; playing with the kids, sleeping, eating, drinking out of the toilet... When it's time to go to work, they get excited, because "work" to them is "play time". When they're doing the job, they're not being vicious, they're having fun. When they're at home, they're at home, and are the family pet.
If they would care for their dogs, they wouldnt shoot in his direction while hes obviously in the way. Just watch the clip. It was sure this would happen.
God changed my life and he will change yours if you turn to him, repent your sins, and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior! It won’t be easy but will be worth it! Keep his commands if you love him! ❤
This is why I don't watch these types of videos. I read comments first, and when it's comments like this, then why would I want to? I don't get what it is in the human mind that makes people click these types of vid, anyone who posts an animal in distress I read comments then block channel. What made you want to watch this vrs not watching? You just ruined your day if you found it so brutal, right? Or is there something else being satisfied. I don't get it. It baffles me!
@@RU-vidNinga1it's folks like you that are the reason why the visible dislike button was originally created. I understand not wanting to see an animal in distress but this was moreso a showcase of the readiness of a law enforcement agency for terrible situations and what happened as a result of the aforementioned readiness. It's a display of heroism in a way.
@@RU-vidNinga1 Then don't watch the news? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why blame a person watching the content when you could easily shut your yabbery mouth and go somewhere else, watch some cute cat videos instead of whining to someone else about what THEY watch? Like, seriously, what is your purpose? It makes ME wish that I could "block channel" you and never see dumb comments like this but I can't. I wish I could filter out comments. But hey, we can't change what's put on the internet, so wtf is your deal now?
I can’t stop crying even though I know he’s safe and living his life quietly and loved by his partner. Bless you all for rushing and helping this brave k9 officer 😢😢😢
@@pop3690 yes I do indeed I do after all have a heart and feelings. I just trust animals dogs especially more than a lot of people Where in my comment above did you get the impression i don’t care about innocent ppl. Perhaps you should go and sharpen your claws on someone who deserves it
@@pop3690this not a story of people! This is about a cop dog, working in risky conditions. You can bet anyone that is crying about this situation is crying about innocent people who are hurt!!

i’m crying so hard right now. i’m so happy that dog is ok. what a brave and strong baby edit: yes, i did cry. i have a connection to all animals and it shatters my heart when i think about one getting hurt. dogs do sm for us. more than you’ll ever know. this dog saved the cops life. please yall, calm down. i’m sorry
you don’t shoot into a vehicle and send in the dog. you do one not both. wtf low iq moment. cop even said an officer hit the dog not the suspect. you’d think they’d be more careful especially when they say they consider their dogs as one of them. sad and disappointing
This is obviously true, but I suspect that what happened is they sent the dog first and then one of the suspects started firing, prompting the officers to return fire. Unfortunately, the dog was in the crossfire at that point, but no officer is going to refrain from shooting back when a suspect is shooting toward them. In hindsight, not deploying the dog would have been better, but no one knew that was going to happen.
Not when they shot knowing he was right in front of the suspect, and cmon they don't think they would have shot him they shoot multiple times not knowing if there actually hitting the suspect many times cross fire hits there own
@@DanielHernandez-cm3om Agreed. I have NEVER like the fact these dogs are used like that. These dogs jump in cars and the cops know the dogs can get stabbed or shot. These cops don't care, they see them as "tools" and that's how canines are looked by many police. It's sad
@Ghost Detective And in many states dogs are considered property and not part of your family, there not a materialistic object there also alive like us, it's sad animals don't get the same respect as humans since we are all living beings but if they could talk they would be a different change on how we see them
the fact that they are not just called officers but also treated like officers makes me almost cry. so beautiful. thanks to all the cops helping and saving their fellow 4 legged mate. and also the fact the officer takes resposibility for the rest of his life is super heart-warming.

God bless this dog. This brought me to tears. These k9 officers are crucial to police. I pray for this dog to live the rest of his life in a loving home.
He was in so much pain. His mouth was wide open and he was breathing fast and hard. He was scared and going into shock from the blood loss. Dogs are pack animals and he would have seen himself as one of the boys. He must have felt so good when he finally recovered to know he really was one of the guys and well loved.
@@marcelbey-el1947 And you're the type of person that still gets shoved in lockers and given swirlies even at your old age. And no gramps, that was a horrible insult and a terrible comeback. Make it make sense buddy. That old timer ahh insult was HORRIBLE, try again, let's see what you can come up with you old geezer. And maybe stop liking your own comments while you're at it.
He said, "I went into dad mode !" 😭 My heart just cried for the officer and his best 4- legged partner and buddy !!! So thankful he recovered and is doing better each day !!! Thank you officers for your service !!!
My heart melted when I heard him yelping. "He went into daddy mode" when he heard that.. I'd do the same with mine!! That poor baby, I'm glad he made it to see another day! 💙
Stop sending dogs in to situations that have a high potential for injury and death. It’s not necessary, ever!!. Don’t take advantage of their innocence and loyalty.
God changed my life and he will change yours if you turn to him, repent your sins, and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior! It won’t be easy but will be worth it! Keep his commands if you love him! ❤
I almost broke down when I heard him yelping and I love how everyone jumped so fast to help him. Thank God he is alive and I hope he lives a long happy life with his retirement. Good boy, Huck 🩵💙🩵💙
Just proves what I've always said about these IDI0T American cops, they SAW the dog go into the car than spray the cat with a 100 bullets, like OH IM SOOOO SHOCKED the dog was injured 😳 These cops are M0R0NS
@@MegglesEST1983- Tough situation when you have subjects firing back at you. If another officer advanced ahead of the “blue line” they are likely to have been shot as well. It takes a moment to realize this has happened and then you stop, but if the other subjects are still shooting back,,,,,. I have not been in this situation in my 30 years in federal enforcement, but I can understand what happened. There’s a likelihood that some of the officers shooting didn’t see the dog go in. Not making excuses, just clarifying they were damned if they did and damned if they didn’t. If they didn’t, it’s very possible one or more officers would have been shot instead. Can’t live with “what ifs” though.
@@daviddillardjohnson9137 Dogs can go places humans can't and more safely. Shots at that range can ricochet at any give time and the more important thing is that the dog is in good hands. They're bred to do this work and it's criminal to not let them do something that they were not only bred for but trained for, they cycle out the dogs that don't pass and rehome them to families that will take care of them.
Hearing the dog in pain and not being able to see him would have been such a terrible moment, that and finding out how many times the dog was shot, and not knowing by who. He 100% deserves an early retirement for all he has done, and judging by the grey on his face, he was getting close to retiring anyways, but none the less more then deserves to live at home with his handlers.
@@crackclown3749 The dog shouldn't have been sent in there anyway. Cops don't care about animals, and they literally describe their dogs as "Tools." Not partners, but tools. That's evil on so many levels. They send these dogs in to dark cars knowing they can get stabbed to death. Nah, If it was up to me horses and dogs would not be allowed.
@javencoleman7485, maybe people should not commit crimes. That should be a start. Unfortunately humans are the worst. Honestly, People have to use the tools given to them. I'd trust a k9 partner over a person any day. Brothers have your back, partners have your life.
so glad they treated the k9 w the respect he deserved he’s a member of their team & fights for them & their lives & it’s really nice to see them return the favor
With respect? Are you kidding? They are the ones who put the dog in harm's way and used it as cannon fodder in the first place, then they shot their own dog. They are cowards and animal abusers, nothing less.
@@joshklaver47 sooo dramatic.... dogs are mans best friend but also battle buddies or service members.. that dog was a police dog and did his job with honor. I don't think you understand that when everything may seem likes it's going alright, one mistake can tear everything down. I'm sure you are not delusional and recognize a mistake when you see one.... but I suppose you are perfect and have yet to make a single mistake.
@@joshklaver47 you are so wrong in this I'm not trying to be a dick here but the dogs that are police or military trained no matter where in the world must love their job they get to hunt things like they would in the wild, and they get rewarded for doing it it's a win-win for them surely ?
Those officers risk their lives just like their human counterparts and thankfully he was given the utmost care from his partner and the other officers on the scene
@@0Honey_Nut_Cheetos0 they shot the car like 20 times with the dog inside. Are you deaf and blind? The dog handler was screaming watch the dog watch the dog then they admitted to it in the helicopter ride. Go lick some more boots
@@ezy1411At 1:35. I don’t know what’s up with you people not being able to watch a video all the way through. Do you have adhd or extremely short attention spans? Lol
Hearing the sound when he was shot was very difficult. I love these K9’s so much. But seeing the urgency of every single first responder in action helped to ease my heartbreak. Respect.
i think officers should learn from this, idk if they knew he was armed or not but i hope it doesn't happen again and im glad that the officer mad a full recovery
@marcelbey-el1947 and I'd rather folks like you who vote democrat and protect criminals would all take the forever nap challange but hey we can't all get what we want can we?
As someone who had my 4 legged friend die in my arms while speeding to the nearest vet I can't even begin to imagine what this officer must've been feeling.
@ihswap Sorry your loss. I recently lost my dog not too long ago. She was on her last breaths to the vet. Hearing that dog crying in pain just brings back the memories of that day. She passed away because of Addison’s disease.
That Yelping broke my heart. Im so glad hes alive and healthy and even though hes now retired, he will get all the treats, pets and toys he will ever need while hanging out with his handler. And everyone on that squad was instantly ontop of the scene. Making sure the wounds were compressed and that no one was getting overly stressed.
I was not expecting to hear him yelping and BOY did it tear my heart apart. I have never heard a dog holler like that, that poor guy I am so glad he made it and gets to live out a happy restful life
I'm sorry but I hate dog nuts. Dog's are not people. On the contrary they are demonic. They are known to kill infants and small children. They pass on diseases. Yeah, I hate dogs and dog nuts.
This officer doesn't want a raise, a promotion or a medal he just wants attention, love and a handful of treats in exchange for offering his life. Dogs are amazing!
AWW Just catching this video; so sorry for K-9's injuries in the line of duty and how deeply loved the officer feels for him. Very sad he lost part of his leg and had to retire but sure he is getting the love and affection he desires.
@@paulibakker8880 And what if it had been a human officer in that vehicle fighting with the suspects? It was inexcusable for them to open fire on the dog like that. Didn't you hear his partner yelling at them to watch for his dog? His partner said the dog was hit by police fire.
Wow! I’m in complete awe at how beautifully and urgently everyone tended towards him. Huge round of applause to the department for going the extra mile to ensure he received medical attention asap. Such a handsome & brave good boy.
You idiots replying to this makes it seem like this was intentional. These things happen. It's called crossfire. And when you're in such a stressful spot by bad guys shooting, you need to respond. Sure these officers should get extra training to better prep for this, but even still it was a sad accident which thankfully got a happy ending.
😢 I’m so glad he made it! He sure didn’t choose this line of work, but definitely put his heart, soul and strength into it. and no doubt service dogs save many lives. They are fearless!
I teared up when i heard Huck yelping after being shot, as an ex West Yorkshire, England police dog handler i can understand the anguish that officers especially Hucks handler were going through. So happy to hear that Huck survived and went to live with his handler.
“I went into dad mood” a real officer that loves his dog ! I’ve seen cases of officers ending the lives of their dogs (service) and or not caring for them so I’m happy he did and is now safe at home
You’ve “seen cases of officers ending the lives of their dogs …..”. When? Stop spreading misinformation. Stop talking bs. Most k9 officers love their partners and take them home at the end of the day. They are loved and treated as family. Yes. I know for a fact.
@@gerrylopez5743k9 officers die in hot cars all the time and their handlers seldom face consequences. Wild that if you or I’s negligence lead to a k9’s death it’s a police officer, but when they do it it’s surplus equipment.
@@thejerkyshack8040Many cases from that 2012 study showed that the canine handler had taken appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the dog in the vehicle: the air conditioner and engine were running, and an alarm system was in place, however a mechanical problem with the vehicle (usually dead battery and engine shut-off) caused the air conditioner and alarm system to fail.
Shoutout to my fellow vet assistants and techs and veterinarians who saved his life! We love these K9s and it hurts us so much when we see things like this happen to them when they are just doing their jobs.
Sadly I believe he was hit my friendly fire. Awesome that they were treating him like a person who had been wounded. I’m happy he’s alive and getting to live out his days as a happy doggie
I agree. I think the handler got tunnel vision in the moment and didn’t realize the K9 was walking ahead right into the line of fire. Unfortunately things like this happen in high stress situations.
Hearing the Dog whimper so hearted breaking but I m glade he is okay it really hit me hard remember when my dog got hurt so badly I can still hear my dog crying in this was dec 25 2013
I’m not a dog owner or a cop, but I completely understand the bond the cop has with his buddy, a fellow officer. I’m so pleased Huck made it, he may be missing part of his limb but his spirit is 100% intact.
The way they handled this was beautiful! We should never have to be in this predicament. It was a delicate situation that could have turned out poorly had the officers lost their cool. Great work saving your partner 🖤💚
I just came across this video, I'm a dog dad myself and this is just heart wrenching. I'm so glad to see the outcome of this on a positive note and to all of the first responders that kept him alive, Much Love
The amount of patience and comfort the dog had for the officers helping him is outstanding. I know most dogs would be crying in pain and likely trying to deter from any sort of help thinking it is worsening condition. This pupper just let the officers go to work with no complaints or resistance
I believe that to be the case because they are trained extensively, and also know that their people care for them. He knew he was hurt, and watched all the other officers working franticly around him. So he must have known they were trying to save him.
I don’t know why, but every time this video pops up on my feed I watch it. Just to see the care and compassion from his handler ❤️ but damn it makes me so upset it was friendly fire. I hope this good boy is getting lots love and living a good retired life.
Getting a chopper to airlift the Officer (K-9) to get the treatment he needed is amazing and they have my respect, I feel bad for the partner of the Officer (K-9) I don't cry but theses dam onions and seeing the Officer tearing up on the back of the pickup got to me, and respect to all those that did everything they could instead of just seeing the K-9 as just a dog. Glad the service dog is still with us and now can relax and enjoy his life playing around after all he went through. Good boy
@@WhatDoYouWant583 No, the dog never asked to be put in harm's way, and never asked to be forced to hurt people. Those cops signed up for this, so they're cowards if they send in the dog instead of dealing with the situation themselves.
Care? Are you kidding? They are the ones who put the dog in harm's way, used it as cannon fodder, and then shot it themselves. They are cowards and animal abusers, nothing less.
I've lost dogs and I was in grief each time for half a year. Police dogs dying in the line; I'm crying and I never knew them. Man's best friend; I'm still in mourning and it's been 5 years.
Thank God he got the same attention that a regular officer would receive as the K9 is an officer. Glad to hear he has recovered. Losing your K9 has to be very difficult as that is your life partner at work.
@@nickmarsala3787 yeah, I know...now he has an injury to live with that should never have happened...and can't go to work with his handler.....whomever shot him should be treated like shooting a human police officer because K9's are cops too...sounds like a bunch of gun happy cops....ugggh.😡
Im happy he is doing better, poor pup, his yelps tore right through me, no one especially the owner wants to hear their animal yelping like that. Credit to the pup he kept calm once they got him situated which also probably saved his life, gave the cops the opportunity to try and control the bleeds. I lived 10 mins away when this happened, they shut down A1A to land the helicopter at the intersection pretty crazy, but also a measure that saved him
Once when I was little, we were learning fire safety and someone said if you’re house was burning down you should get out and leave your pets inside because humans can’t be replaced but pets can. I was too stupid and young to think anything of it at the time. But now it makes me angry. Every pet should be treated with as much respect and care as this doggy. I’d rather die trying to save my pet rather than survive knowing that my pet died because I didn’t save it.
Bless these men, thank you for your urgency and compassion to saving this beautiful, brave boy ❤ He deserves a good retirment now, he has served his community.
Yeah that's a tough one. From the clip it looks as though the suspect fired a round and then the officers not knowing who the suspect was shooting at opened up. It happens when you're under extreme stress, muscle memory kicks in. However as a firearms instructor for my department, we preach ALWAYS KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND and what's beyond. It didn't seem in this case they heeded that basic firearms safety rule.
I could barely watch this, let alone click on it. Seeing a person in pain is heartbreaking, but an animal in pain tears me up. Cats, dogs, horses, it doesn't matter what animal. Maybe because they can't tell us the pain they're in. I'm so glad he was saved and doing so well.
That is no injured Service Dog-He is an Officer of the Law, a fellow Service Man, sent into the battlefield that crime, and vice have fostered in inner cities, and spreading. Thank you all, and your Families, from the bottom of my heart.
I was gonna say almost exactly the same thing. It isn't K9 Huck as far as I'm concerned; it's OFFICER Huck. Or for a full title, Officer Huck, K9. The K9 is a secondary distinction. He's an officer first, a K9 second. Although, I guess now he's more Retired Officer Huck, K9. Though, for whatever reason, I'm more okay with the "Retired K9, Officer Huck" honorific when he's retired. Because he's transitioned from an active duty officer of the law to, well, the job of simply being the best pet dog possible with a valiant history under his belt (or, in this case, his collar, I suppose). He's gone from protecting and serving the public to protecting and serving his family. And hopefully he gets free vet care for the entire course of his natural life. Like, the absolute best of the best vet care, he ought to still have access to medevacs and emergency vets at zero cost to the now owner as a pension plan of sorts for his work on the force. I hope Officer K9s get that benefit, because they absolutely should
It’s crazy about what animals do for humans! Unbelievable, and I pay respect to those people who stood by him at the dog’s weakest point and comforted him. That just shows how they care for him and how society can improve. Glad he’s okay!
I watch so much true crime, body cam footage, murder investigation, etc... I see what horrible things people have done to other people, and it does make me sad and angry but only briefly. But animals involved never fail to make me bawl. I'm so glad he's okay. You can tell his human partner shares such a special bond with him.
This is so gut wrenching! ! ! ! Praying for full recovery And Justice to be done. May the perp become sooo distraught over what he has done that he will not rest well until he repents! ! ! ! !
It honestly made me tear up. Poor doggy... he was just helping out his beloved humans and next thing he knows he's wracked with pain. But holy crap were the officers awesome about taking care of him after. A medevac for a K9 officer is absolutely awesome (not awesome he needed the medevac, but rather it's awesome that when he unfortunately needed the medevac, there was no hesitation, they just called the helicopter since they're rescuing a fellow officer that's been downed)
