On May 10, the sheriff’s office says Roman is walking and eating, but the next 24 hours will be critical.
“This K-9 is a hero several times over — a SWAT dog that apprehended an armed murder suspect the night before last. Please continue to pray for Roman and his handler, Deputy Zimmerman,” stated the sheriff’s office.
