"His K9 suffered a shoulder injury and injuries to his teeth. We would imagine as he had a hold of them, they were dragging him with the car or hanging him out of the car or slamming the door on him. So, it's hard to tell exactly what happened, but we know that he does have quite a few broken teeth," said Adam.

The sheriff said in addition to the K9's leg and shoulder injury, Lucas is also recovering from asphalt burns from being dragged along the roadway.

Investigators say Fraizer somehow managed to hit a button on his belt, releasing his K9 partner from his patrol car. That's when they say the suspects ran to their car and made their getaway, but Lucas stayed on their trail.

"He hadn't been given a command to release so he was on it," explained Adam.
