Thank goodness they’re both ok.
The Secret Service dogs that tussled with a White House fence jumper, including one dog that was violently kicked by the suspect, are recovering today, officials said.
The canines, named Hurricane and Jordan, were taken to a veterinarian after the attack and treated for minor bruising. Both were cleared to return to duty.
Hurricane, a black Belgian Malinois, is 6 years old and “enjoys playing with his Kong toy,” the Secret Service said on Twitter today.
Jordan is black and tan and also a Belgian Malinois. The 5-year-old “enjoys walks around the White House,” the service said.
Both dogs are “ready to work” again.
Meanwhile, Dominic Adesanya, the man who police say climbed over the White House fence Wednesday evening, was released from a hospital and remained in police custody.
Hurricane and Jordan attacked Adesanya, 23, after he allegedly jumped the north fence. Video showed the suspect kicking one patrol dog before the second one took him down. Adesanya wrestled with the dog before he was taken into custody.
I think those dogs are happy from their trip to Cartagena, Colombia. Just sayin’ …
Is it just me, or does Jordan look like Syd’s cousin?
There does seem to be a family resemblance.
I saw Tammy’s post and flashed a line from an old movie. “Last of the Dogmen”. Tom Berenger’s (Lewis) and Barbara Hershey’s (Lillian) character had just been saved by Lewis’ dog. Lillian says…”It’s a little disconcerting to realize that the smartest member of our expedition is the dog”.
It’s a little disconcerting to realize the smartest members of the American Secret Service are the dogs…..
