Nero's Law, which went into effect last year, allows police dogs and other working animals to be treated or transported by emergency medical personnel.
His handler is now helping to train medics to care for injured K9s through Nero's Law.
Xiarhos wrote Nero's Law, to honor Yarmouth Police Sgt. Sean Gannon and K9 Nero. Both were shot in 2018. Gannon died. Nero survived, but wasn't able to be rushed to the vet in an ambulance under the law at the time."Now, legally, if a dog is injured in Massachusetts, it can be treated and put in an ambulance. And today, it can be put in a helicopter ambulance," said Xiarhos, who was a deputy police chief in Yarmouth at the time of Gannon's death.
"The donations from the general public are what helps us provide this equipment," said the nonprofit's president, Dave Shilale. "Making sure that the handlers are intimately involved really helps maximize the safety and transport of these dogs," said Dr. Matthew LoConte, an emergency physician from UMass Memorial Medical Center.
