Albany Sergeant Makes Incredible Recovery, Released From Hospital
It s been nearly 2 months since the Colonie crash involving K9 Sergeant Joe Iachetta left him fighting for his life.

Believed by many at the time that he had suffered life-threatening injuries, the Capital Region rallied on his behalf and remained hopeful and supportive while we waited for any good news in regards to his progress.

But yesterday, great news came our way as it was reported by News 10 ABC that after nearly two months he is out of the hospital. His recovery according to the story has been significant.
