SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. — The Sevierville Police Department said K-9 Hank is recovering well after being shot during an arrest attempt on May 12

The department posted a picture of Hank on his way home from a check-up at the veterinarian on Tuesday morning. 

In the post, SPD thanked Dr. George Cline and Dr. Brittni Jones Moore at Parkway Animal Hospital in Sevierville who performed the emergency surgery on Hank Friday evening after he was shot. 

"Because of their skill, expertise and caring, Hank made it through and is doing well," SPD wrote.

The department said it appreciates the many people and organizations that offer to bring toys and treats for Hank, but it asked for future donations to be sent to the Sevier County Animal Care Center in Sevierville, 1040 Dolly Parton Parkway.
