K-9 Hero Strangled by Suspect | Omaha News

In a dramatic Omaha standoff, wanted suspect Raynard Bass fled cops in his car, brandishing a gun, and crashed into a home where civilians were trapped. After SWAT rescued the hostages, K-9 officer Kano was deployed to track Bass—and found him. But Bass strangled Kano until he passed out. Thanks to quick CPR from officers and firefighters, Kano survived and is now recovering at home after being discharged from the vet with swelling in key organs. Bass faces multiple charges—including animal cruelty against a police dog. It’s a harrowing reminder of the real dangers K-9s face every day.
