ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida police K-9 that attacked a 7-year-old neighbor girl last summer is now working in the Netherlands.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://goo.gl/H2co6Y) reports that Doki, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, has gone to the Dutch National Police.
Doki was retired from the Wildwood Police Department after last July's attack, where the dog jumped his officer's backyard fence. He was returned to Southern Coast K9, based in New Smyrna Beach. He was later purchased by the European police agency.
The family of Julianne Goodridge says the girl is still recovering and may need additional surgeries to cover prominent scars on her face. The family has filed an intent to sue the city, police department and Southern Coast K9.
Officials say Doki had been with the department for about a year.
