Recovery After February Incident
Zeus, a six-year-old Belgian Malinois, required veterinary treatment after being injured during an incident in February. The injury occurred during a confrontation in which officers were reportedly attempting to disarm a man, and a police vehicle was driven toward him.

Police Scotland shared the positive update on social media, describing the news as “great” and confirming that Zeus is now “fit and well” and ready to resume his duties.
“Zeus and his handler are looking forward to getting back to work and continuing to keep people safe,” the statement said. “We’re extremely grateful for the support shown by members of the public.”
Court Proceedings Ongoing
Following the incident, Linas Luopas, 28, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court facing multiple charges. These include possession of a bladed article in a public place, assault, and an animal welfare-related charge.
He made no plea and was remanded in custody.
