Eslary's wife, Mary Beth, is a county 911 dispatcher who was off duty at the time of the crash but went to the scene when she learned about the fatal accident. Police said she played a critical role in working with K-9 Blek because the dog did not want to leave Lt. Eslary.
According to the critical care doctor who is treating Blek, the dog's condition is considered serious.
"His condition is relatively stable, while he did have trouble with his back legs initially after the accident, he is able to bear weight and walk on them, so he is not paralyzed," Dr. Megan Kaplan said. "At this time, and in regards to other internal injuries, it seems to be limited to what we call a traumatic hemo-abdomen, which means he means hes got some hemorrhaging in his abdominal cavity."
Prayers for his wife and family, and hoping the K-9 makes a complete recovery.
