“Dexter” the K-9 hit by car

The Westminster Police Department K-9 “Dexter” was in surgery today in Greenville for injuries last night when hit by a car.  According to Chief Dean Awalt, Dexter was inside a pen at the home of his handler when the sound of fireworks scared the dog enough for it to break from the pen and then be struck by a car.  Awalt says the K-9’s handler, Corp. Isaac Moore, is with the dog during surgery for multiple injuries.
