TikTok favorite K-9 Officer Arlo receives surgery for bullet wound at OSU veterinary hospital
Following eight hours of complex surgery at Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, Thurston County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Officer Arlo was walking with assistance Saturday morning after being treated for two bullet wounds suffered in a police chase in Washington state.
K-9 Arlo has amassed more than 642,000 TikTok followers in just over a year on the job.

“He’s unlucky but lucky at the same time.”

Kennerly, an information technology consultant, spent most of her career in IT, but “my position pre-dated the age of IT,” she said. In the early days, computers were barely used. “Early on, my job was to teach old veterinarians how to use a mouse,” she said. “What a hoot!”
