BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A K-9’s job is to find and make sure missing neighbors are safe. Well, sometimes the conditions they perform these tasks in can be life threatening. I’m Ashley Engle your Havana neighborhood reporter. I’m looking to see how this can save a K-9’s life in an emergency.
It’s a flight that can mean the difference between life and death.
But the patients in this chopper might not be what you think.
“The last thing we ever want to have is an injured animal, k9 dog.”
Keeping the furry friends who keep *us safe…save on the job
Deputy robert Mata from Sumter County Sheriff’s Office says he’s grateful for the training and resources highlighted in Havana at Florida Public Safety Institute.
Knowing this helicopter could save an injured k-9 officer is game changing.
“It’s nice to have but I prefer not to use it. Because we are here, and we learn first aid to recognize those types of symptoms. But there are other times where there is nothing you can do.”
