(Council Bluffs) The Council Bluffs Police Department K-9, injured while on duty Tuesday morning, underwent successful surgery to repair two broken bones.
At about 10:10 a.m., officers and K-9 Rudy were searching an abandoned building for intruders at 500 West Broadway Street. The K-9 went through a door leading to a sloped section of the roof, slipped, and fell approximately three stories. Rudy suffered a broken Femur and Tibia.
Officer Colby McCord and Sgt. Ron Albers transported the K-9 to Iowa State University Veterinary Hospital for surgery. The prognosis is for Rudy to make a full recovery in approximately eight weeks.
