K9 Roam returns home on Saturday with a warm welcome from community members
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs Police Department’s (CSPD) K9 officer, who was attacked on Wednesday, went home on Saturday.
Since the attack, Roam underwent surgery and had his left hind leg amputated.
Saturday morning, he was discharged from the vet and escorted back to his home station.
Many community members lined up along Fountain Boulevard to cheer him on as he passed by.
It took a full team of vet techs, doctors, and support staff to save his life ultimately.
Now, other law enforcement K-9s and two specialty hospitals have also donated blood products to help save him.
