The dog, a two-year-old German Shepherd, was injured while tracking a group that had crossed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-judge-in-texas-stops-biden-deportation-freeze\/\" title=\"Federal judge in Texas stops Biden deportation freeze\">border illegally<\/a>. Witnesses expressed concern as they saw the agent rush out of the helicopter carrying the wounded dog. Boo was promptly taken to the Pet emergency Specialty Centre, where he received anti-venom and IV fluids. Fortunately, Boo is recovering well and is now stable, reflecting the swift action taken by the agents and emergency responders. Dr. Jennifer Willey noted that snake bites are common during this time of year, and the incident has raised awareness about the dangers K-9s face in the line of duty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Dramatic video captured a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter landing on a busy road in La Mesa, California.<\/p>\n<p>Moments after it landed, an agent exited the aircraft running with a wounded K-9 in his arms, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsandiego.com\/news\/local\/border-patrol-k-9-recovering-from-rattlesnake-bite\/3823964\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KNSD-TV<\/a> in San Diego reported with respect to the May 9 incident.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Boo was out there doing his job, tracking a group that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/illegal-alien-killed-24-year-old-woman-gets-ridiculous-light-sentence-triggering-backlash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crossed illegally<\/a>, and unfortunately, he got bit by a rattlesnake,&rdquo;
