We were so happy to hear that Earp, a police dog who was stabbed on the job more than a week ago, is doing well. The 8-year-old German shepherd was attacked March 20 by a man who had also stabbed his wife at their home, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Police later shot and killed the man.

The dog's partner, Sgt. Jess Havin, rushed Earp to an animal hospital, where they learned that the knife had punctured the 75-lb. dog's carotid artery. The brave canine received blood transfusions, stitches and was sent home with Havin to recover. In just a little over a week, Earp , who is due to retire in just a few weeks, has bounced back.

"His play drive has kicked back in," Havin told the newspaper. "He's doing remarkably well."
