A 5K run Sept. 11 in Marion will raise money for a Marion police dog who ate an electric cord. Officer Aaron Slater, Blue’s handler, told city councilmen that not much money was left from a 5K run last year because part of it had to be used to pay for emergency surgery after the Belgian Malinois ate an electric cord in February. A consultation with Spur Ridge Vet Hospital followed by emergency surgery at Kansas State University’s veterinary hospital took a $2,357.67 bite out of funds raised for Blue’s care and needs.
