MADISON (WKOW) -- Cooper, one of Madison Police Department's Mounted Patrol horses', is finally home after spending two-and-a-half weeks at UW Veterinary Hospital.
Veterinary staff members gave the horse a special goodbye, his primary veterinarian walked him out of the hospital, and two other patrol squad horses, Doctor B and Bubba, were there to greet him.
Cooper had emergency surgeryfor a displaced colon and faced some complications after the procedure, however Friends of Madison Mounted Patrol said in a Facebook announcement that he is in good spirits.
Friends of Madison Mounted Patrol said it will take some time for Cooper to recover so it will be a while before he is back on duty.
For those who want to help with Cooper's medical bills, Friends of Madison Mounted Patrol has a GoFundMe.
