Here’s the latest on Kato, the Bluffton police department K-9 dog who was on sick leave this spring with a collapsed lung.
Kato returned to work after being medically cleared by the vet.
He missed his initial recertification with his training group in May due to his illness.

Movie theaters closed in mid-March and in some cases have reopened slowly, but with a dearth of new films to offer customers.
