Comment from John: Again, man’s best friend puts his life on the line. Everyday, across this great nation of ours, dogs are working to save, rescue, protect, guard, patrol, seek out, and sound the alarm for your and I. The following story is one such example.
UPDATE 1/21/11 @ 5:45 p.m.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSAZ) — Gallia County Sheriff Joseph Browning says the department’s K9 “Jeck” is in stable condition in a Columbus, Ohio veterinary hospital recovering from a knife wound to his neck.
Gallia County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Richard Harrison deployed his K-9 partner “Jeck” in attempt to track Kelly Krebs. During this track deputies believe that Krebs attacked or struggled with the dog and stabbed it in the neck area causing severe bleeding.
Sgt. Harrison says Jeck continued to track and had to be called off the track to get medical aid. Jeck was taken to a Gallia County area veterinarian and later by Gallia County EMS to the Ohio State University Veterinarian Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. K-9 Jeck was operated on and is currently stable.

Jeck is in good hands – I know from experience. I’m praying for him. I’m so glad to know that the a#*!!&% that stabbed him will be charged with assaulting a police officer. I hope it adds many years to his sentence.
