Retired K-9's owner faces steep vet bills after dog falls down well
Newsy
The 10-year-old German shepherd retired from duties working with police and is recovering after the 40-foot fall.
A German Shepherd named Indy is on a long road to recovery after falling down an old well around this time last year.
Scripps News San Diego caught up with Indy at physical therapy on Tuesday to track his progress.
"So, Indy is here for his therapy treatment … Yes you're talking about it!" the physical therapist said as the dog chimed in with a lively bark.
The 10-year-old German shepherd is a retired police dog that captured the heart of his community after he was rescued from a 40-foot well in Chula Vista, California.
"He had a giant scar and cut from his shoulder all the way to his back — a very bad wound that was filled with mud," said Mark Pugh, Indy's owner. "He strained his legs and ruptured a disc in his back."
