Police dog injured on duty returning to action
Police ScotlandA police dog injured on duty in Aberdeen is returning to action.
Zeus, a six-year-old Belgian Malinois, had received veterinary treatment in February.
Zeus was injured during the incident in which a police car was driven at a man in Aberdeen as officers were said to be trying to disarm him.
Police Scotland announced "great news" on social media that Zeus was now "fit and well" and was set to return to duty.
"Zeus and his handler are now looking forward to getting back to work and keeping everyone safe," a statement said.
"We're all very grateful for the support offered by members of the public."
A 28-year-old man, Linas Luopas, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to face various charges after the incident.
These included having a bladed item in a public place, assault, and an animal welfare allegation.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
