According to Lt. William Rohrer, C.O., Public Information Section, on January 2004, "Boomer", a nine-year-old German shepherd and his K-9 handler John Mallia, responded to a domestic disturbance in Rocky Point. John Anzalone, 41, had assaulted his live-in girlfriend and then fled the scene. When Boomer located the suspect, the man stabbed the dog six times. Officer Mallia was also slashed on the hand as he moved in to make the arrest. Seventh Precinct Officers then subdued Anzalone and took him into custody.
Officer Mallia was treated for his injuries at Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson and released. Boomer underwent a three-hour surgery at the Coram Animal Hospital.
Anzalone was charged with Assault 2nd Degree, Injuring a Police Animal, Aggravated Cruelty to an Animal, Resisting Arrest and Harassment 2nd Degree. He is to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on February 10, 2004.
Less then a month later, Boomer was deemed fit for duty.
