Two folks got arrested after a brutal attack on a search-and-rescue dog handler and his canine partner in Bangor County, down. Ryan Gray from canine's search-and-rescue was off-duty, just out socializing on Friday night around 7.50 p.m. when a group of youths jumped him on. High street. He took multiple punches to the face, losing teeth and suffering a fractured eye socket that sent him straight to the hospital. His dog Max got kicked hard too and has been acting allse of dude since. Police moved quick, nabbing two males aged 13 and 15 on Sunday for charges like assault causing bodily harm, a fray, and animal cruelty. Both are still in custody as the investigation rolls on. This hit right after the team opened a new base in town earlier that week. The search-and-rescue crew is furious. Calling Ryan a real hero who's helped save lives worldwide, including finding the last survivor in that turkey. Earthquake.
