Stabbed police dog returns to duty

A police dog which suffered a knife wound during an arrest has returned to duty after making a quicker-than-expected recovery.

Staffordshire Police thanked well-wishers who sent cards and even two hampers to PD Audi after he was injured in Stoke-on-Trent on July 1.

The dog was with his handler, PC Karl Mander, in Town Road, Hanley, during an incident in which officers are alleged to have been assaulted.
