Woodland police dog goes home to heal
Officers from the Woodland, 69³ÉÈË and Twin Cities police departments gathered Monday (June 6) as Peydro, a Woodland police dog, was released from the 69³ÉÈË Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Peydro had undergone surgery and received care for spinal and facial injuries suffered when he was accidentally hit by a car on May 28 while pursuing a suspect. Veterinary neurosurgeons placed two pins in Peydro’s vertebrae to stabilize the spinal injury and repaired his facial wounds. He goes home now to finish recuperating with his handler, officer Juan Barerra. The Foothills K9 Association provided a ramp and an orthopedic bed for Peydro. — Pat Bailey
