I hope the police dog is ok

Newshub reports:

A man has been shot twice by police in Northland after a police dog was left with a gunshot wound to the head, according to a report.

The small township of Tangowahine, between Whangarei and Dargaville, is in the process of being shut down as police swarm the area to offer assistance to the officers, the NZ Herald reports.

It’s understood the police dog is being rushed to a vet clinic in Dargaville to receive treatment.

Hopefully the police dog survives.
