The Green Bay Police Department has announced that K-9 Pyro was able to return home over the weekend. Although he still has a lot of recovering and recuperating to do, he has passed his first major hurdle and has been cleared to convalesce at home with his handler and family.
The Green Bay Police Department has expressed how overwhelmed they were by the sheer number of people who have written cards, sent donations, given treats, or otherwise shared their good wishes for Pyro and are tremendously grateful for the outpouring of support from the community.
On April 7, Pyro was deployed by police after an armed suspect refused orders to give himself up for arrest. Pyro jumped on the suspect, who stabbed the dog with a five-inch blade.
There are photos and video from Pyro’s special check out on the department Facebook page.
