Tampa officer and K-9 return to work after attack

Bergman went straight for Indo's medical kit, a donation from Frankie's Friends.  The charity equips and trains K-9 officers on what to do in an emergency.

Bergman says the kit helped him treat Indo immediately.

"I grabbed the towel and saline solution and started wiping the blood off his face. I pressed his wound with gauze and that's when I realized it was just from the burn and he didn't have a bullet hole," said Bergman.
