Canada Video released of Calgary police dog Jester being stabbed by teen after boy sentenced

© Calgary Police Service A 14-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to stabbing Calgary police dog Jester during a pursuit in late July. He will be sentenced in February.

The grade 10 student can not be identified in order to comply with the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was sentenced to three months deferred custody — meaning if stays out of trouble, he stays out of jail — followed by nine months of probation.
