Vancouver police are investigating a dog stabbing Wednesday evening in the Lincoln neighborhood.
The stabbing occurred about 7 p.m. in the 3500 block of Harney Street during a dispute between a dog owner and another subject, said Vancouver police Sgt. Aaron Gibson.
Gibson said the dog, a medium sized dog named Hank, reacted when the dispute became physical and came to the aid of its owner, though he did not attack.
“The other subject had a knife and stabbed the dog a couple of times,” Gibson said.
Hank was taken to a local veterinary hospital with injuries Gibson described as significant.
The dog was undergoing surgery Wednesday evening. Gibson said it’s believed that Hank will survive.
