Toowoomba police dog Turbo is doing well after he was treated for stab wounds and a punctured lung, sustained while pursing a suspect yesterday.
PD Turbo is a 20-month-old general purpose police dog assigned to the Darling Downs District. We are pleased to report, PD Turbo is out of surgery and is recovering nicely. He is already up and about, bouncing round, a QPS spokesperson said. PD Turbo is now back with his relieved handler. All support is being given to his handler at this time. The Dog Squad and the Queensland Police Service would like to thank the community for their ongoing support.
