A Harrisburg police K9 is recovering after being involved in a crash on Saturday evening. It happened around 6:30 p.m. near 6th and Forrest Street. A police officer, a pedestrian and a suspect the officer was pursuing were also injured in the crash.
Thor, a 4-year-old German Shepherd, was taken to the Rossmoyne Animal Emergency & Trauma Center for treatment.
He came in with a concussion and some bruising around the spleen/liver area, Sabrena Myerhoff, who with her husband, Mark, a veterinarian, owns the Animal Emergency Center in Lower Allen Township. On Sunday morning, Thor was up walking around and even went outside to go to the bathroom, Myerhoff said.
Thor is expected to make a full recovery but will require weeks of rest before returning to work.
