A Vancouver police dog is in critical condition after he was stabbed this evening.
A police patrol unit was investigating a suspicious-person call around 6 p.m. in the area of Fruit Valley and Laframbois roads when the officers learned the suspect, Jacky Chan Karuo, 25, of Vancouver, had outstanding arrest warrants, Vancouver Police Department spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
Vancouver police Officer Jack Anderson and his K-9 partner, Ike, were in the area and assisted with the call. When Ike made contact with Karuo, he allegedly stabbed the dog.
Ike is a Belgian Malinois who went into service in 2012. Kapp said the dog was taken to an emergency veterinarian and remained in critical condition after surgery.
