Police dog Kimura, stabbed by suspect in 2020, earns toughest dog honors at K-9 trials

LAS VEGAS, NV  – Kimura is a tough dog, and now it’s official: he is the toughest dog.

Stabbed in the neck in April 2020 while trying to subdue an armed suspect, the 6-year-old Dutch shepherd has rebounded from that life-threatening injury — and he proved it at the Metropolitan Police Department’s 31st annual K-9 Trials on Sunday. 

The top prizes were Top Agency, Top Dog and Tough Dog, which was won by Kimura. That honor, which goes to the dog regarded as the toughest, strongest and most aggressive in the competition, is awarded by the so-called “decoys,” or the officers who pretend to be criminals and wear the teeth-resistant “bite suits” that enable them to get bitten safely all day long.
