WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Drake, the retired police dog shot at least four times earlier this week during a break-in at a Florida Highway Patrol trooper’s home, was flown to the University of Florida in Gainesville Friday morning to undergo tests to determine the source of fluid in his lungs, according to Veterinarian Ken Simmons.
Dr. Simmons, owner of Simmons Veterinary Hospital in Greenacres where Drake is being treated, said he suspects the fluid may be coming from a hole in the esophagus caused by one of the bullets that hit the 5-year-old German shepherd.
