A routine traffic stop turned into a full-blown disaster for one Florida cop and his K9 partner shortly before 2 a.m. on March 29, 2019. On-duty officers in St. Petersburg stopped a car, but a search was prompted after the suspect fled from the scene.

K9 Officer Greg Shone was on duty that night with his partner, Titan, a 4-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois. As the team searched the area, the suspect panicked and fired a gun, and Titan caught a bullet. The seriously injured dog was rushed to Partridge Animal Hospital and hurriedly prepped for life-saving surgery.
