Kroc
While aiding in the pursuit and capture of a suspect, Kroc, a Greenville County Sheriff’s K-9 deputy, was severely injured when stabbed through his chest and abdomen. In need of immediate medical attention, Kroc was rushed to Upstate Veterinary Specialists by his partner, Officer Tim Fuller, and other members of the Sheriff's department. He underwent two-and-half hours of emergency surgery to control bleeding, repair tears to his lung, liver, diaphragm, and rib, and to remove his gall bladder. With his handler continuously by his side, Kroc made a remarkable recovery over the next few days and was discharged from the hospital. In the next few months, we look forward to working with Kroc to return him to the line of duty. He already thinks he is ready to go back to work, but his body needs a little more time to heal! All of us at UVS are extremely proud of Kroc for how he handled this whole ordeal. We were delighted to hear that he received an award for valor from the Sheriff's department. We are also very proud of all the dogs and officers of the K-9 Unit and would like to say thanks to them for all the work they do for all of us every day here in Greenville.
