Yaksha, Hero Police Dog, Elected to the Animal Hall of Fame
As a police dog, Yaksha, provides many services to the community, from uncovering a drug stash or catching a fleeing suspect, to particip ating in community outreach programs with school children. Surgery was performed on a herniated disc and after Yaksha was released to Officer Buckley. Yaksha and his partner, Officer Buckley, worked together on a daily rehabilitation program. To our delight, Yaksha recovered completely and was able to be recertified as a police service dog….Perhaps it was the work of the surgeons that enabled Yaksha to walk again but more likely it was the fierce determination of these two partners working together day after day that made a “miracle” happen. The 12th Annual NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame Luncheon will be held on Sunday, March 4th , 2007 at the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association’s annual meeting. Everyone at GSVS congratulates Yaksha and Officer Buckley on this special honor! |
Yaksha, a working police dog from the Union County Sheriff’s office, has been elected as the 2007 New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association’s Animal Hall of Fame Inductee in the Hero category. Yaksha was nominated for this honor by Dr. Tom Scavelli who had treated him for paralysis due to an injury suffered in the line of duty. Yaksha came to GSVS with his canine partner, Officer Kevin Buckley, for acute onset of hind limb paralysis. A special bond between these two partners was evident from the beginning. Officer Buckley was worried that Yaksha would never walk again, let alone return to duty at his side.
