K9 Bono is a much-loved player after eight years of service, alongside his handler. He has accumulated a total of 400 arrests and retired in 2022. His emergency surgery was due to bloating.

On Saturday, the Georgia Police K9 Foundation released an update saying K9 Bono was recovering from surgery and was weak, but happy to see those he knew.

Even though K9 Bono’s medical expenses are covered, if anyone would like to help, “contributions made will help offset costs which currently total $6,500,” the foundation said .
