GQEBERHA – Not all heroes wear capes, some don collars and one of them is K-9 Night.
The brave police dog is lucky to be alive after surviving a life-threatening fight with a robber.

On Monday morning, the dog and his handler were called out to a housebreaking.
They caught the suspect still inside, but when Night brought him down, the robber fought back.
He grabbed the dog’s choke chain slamming him into a broken window, cutting deep into its throat and neck.
eNCA’s Nceba Ntlanganiso spent some time with the K-9 hero and filed this report.
