K9 officer Casper had a close call after taking a bullet aimed at his partner. But this furry-angel is on the mend after saving his human's life! [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] Things all began when a man robbed a West Palm Beach bar. Wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses, the man rushed into the bar in the pre-dawn hours. He put a gun to the bartender's head and demanded the money from the cash register.“He did tell the bartender, ‘This is a robbery. Not a homicide,’ ” the owner said.After that, the man fled the scene and the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office launched a full-blown manhunt.

A shoot out between the suspect and three deputies ensued. When the shooter started firing at the officers, Casper jumped in the way, shielding his partner from the bullet.
Officers fired back, fatally striking the suspect and putting an end to the gunfire. Thanks to Casper, none of the deputies were harmed. But now it was time to save the heroic K9 officer!
