Orlando police K-9 recovering after near drowning at hands of suspect, cops say | Fox News

An Orlando police K-9 is recovering after authorities say a suspected burglar repeatedly held the dog underwater, nearly drowning him.

WOFL Fox 35 Orlando reports Seabee and his handler were responding reports of a burglar Thursday at about 1:30 p.m.

The German Shepherd found 18-year-old suspect Landon Bradley Barnes and followed him into a swampy area near Druid Lake after he was reportedly chased by a woman. Police say Barnes held Seabee underwater as the dog tried to force the teen out of the lake.

Seabee spent the night recovering at an animal hospital. He was released Friday but police said he has a high fever and there is the potential for infections.

I hope this 18 year old will get a punishment that really fits his crime and perhaps some waterboarding on top of that! I really have a hard time with people harming an animal!

He will probably be charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer or something to that effect, right now he is charged with attempting to injure a police dog.

I never understood why police send dogs into the water after criminals. The dogs are at a huge disadvantage. There is a video, in Ga I think, a guy is in a pond up to his neck. The police send two German shepherds in the water. The man easily holds the dog's heads under water. The police threatened to shot the man if he didn't release them. That's the only reason the dogs lived.
