Cruiser, who came into the animal hospital suffering severe dehydration, is doing "much better" Surrency said. "We were worried about some internal trauma but he has stabilized well," she said, adding that ACC has decided to keep him an extra couple of days while a home is found for the six-year-old dog.
"We just want to say how grateful we are to the Culver City Police Department for rushing Cruiser here right away and all the work they have done," she added.
Surrency also said that ACC is covering all of Cruiser's medical expenses while he is on the premises.
