Subinspector Lawson had no warning when a fugitive burst from a closet and lunged at him with a serrated knife. The blade was aimed straight for his neck—a fatal strike. Lawson had no time to react. But his K9 partner, Titan, did. The 85-pound German shepherd launched himself at the attacker, taking the deep stab in his flank—a blow meant for Lawson. As backup subdued the suspect, Titan collapsed, bleeding profusely. Lawson scooped him up, ignored protocol, and sped toward the emergency vet with sirens wailing, pressing on the wound and pleading: “Don’t leave me.”
The veterinarians worked for three hours to stop the internal bleeding. Lawson never left his side, whispering to the dog who had saved his life. When Titan finally wagged his tail, Lawson collapsed in relief. He walked out knowing he owed every breath to the dog resting in recovery.
In a life-or-death moment, Titan, an 85-pound German shepherd, took a fatal blow meant for his partner, Subinspector Lawson, proving his unyielding courage.
