EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - A Washington State Patrol bomb-sniffing dog is recovering after inhaling something that caused an internal infection that required an operation.
KING-TV reports in a story on Friday that Sonyi will possibly be ready to return to work in early May.
Trooper Scott Legler says Sonyi in January inhaled something that made him sick while working at the ferry docks in Snohomish County.
Legler says that caused an internal abscess, an infection and fluid in 5-year-old Sonyi’s lungs that needed to be drained.
Sonyi had another operation earlier this month for another infection.
But Legler says Sonyi is recovering.
He says Sonyi appears to want to get back to work, but first he has to wait for stitches to heal and the infection to pass.
