K-9 Officer Apollo was released from the hospital this morning and sent home to recover from surgery he underwent Tuesday. During the surgery his gallbladder, spleen, and two thirds of his stomach had to be removed. Doctors were concerned about his chances for survival and said the next 48 hours would determine.
Miraculously, Apollo was up walking around on Thursday and released from the hospital today (May 18). K-9 Sgt. Troy Newell stayed by Apollo’s side most of this week. Apollo turned 9 years old in February 2018 and is set to retire in the near future from the Department.
