Deputy Todd Frazier believes he wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for the bravery of his K-9 partner on a fateful night when Frazier almost ended up losing his life.
The night began as per routine, but when Frazier saw a car parked at the side of the road with its lights turned off, he felt something was off.

Frazier stopped his own car, and walked up to the parked car to perform a routine welfare check. Inside the car, he saw the silhouette of a man sitting.
That’s when things went downhill. Suddenly, two men jumped out from the bushes and charged at Frazier. This was an ambush!

As the men dragged Frazier into the woods and were beating him up, Frazier pressed a button that unlocked the backdoor of his patrol car.
This was the signal his K-9 partner, a Belgian Malinois named Lucas, needed as he dashed out of the car to save his partner.
