A petition calling for police animals to be given the same status as officers if they're hurt while on duty has reached the number of signatures needed for it to be considered for a debate in Parliament.
"It's great to see him alive!" - the verdict of police dog handler PC Dave Wardell on being reunited with his partner Finn after both were stabbed.
"We have been out on the street for just over six years," said PC Wardell, of Hertfordshire Police.
"I was not sure we were going to see him like this."
PC Wardell and Finn were injured during an arrest operation in Stevenage. PC Wardell was treated for an injury to his hand while Finn suffered serious knife wounds to his head and chest.
"We have been very, very lucky and he is doing really, really well," said veterinary surgeon Rob Adams.
"Surgery has gone very well and he is recovering fantastically so far. We are not out of the woods yet but so far, so good."
MPs are to debate whether police animals should be given greater rights if they're hurt in the line of duty, following an attack on a dog.
