An NYPD dog injured in the line of duty Thursday learned that police escorts aren’t just for the rich and famous.
Caesar, a 9-year-old German shepherd, was rushed by the NYPD from Brooklyn to a Manhattan veterinary hospital 14 miles away — with sirens blaring and lights flashing.
A disaster search dog who has worked in Haiti and is close to retirement, Caesar got jolted in the nose by a live wire while training his canine replacement at Floyd Bennett Field at 8 a.m.
“It was very scary,” Officer Anthony Compitello, who takes Caesar home at night, told The Post. “I wasn’t sure what was going on at first, but he suddenly fell back and went into a seizure.”
The dog was treated like any other injured member of the NYPD and speeded to medical help — in this case, Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists on West 15th Street, cops said.
The trip takes 37 minutes with no traffic but can take more than an hour at busier times, Google Maps shows.
Caesar is expected to recover fully.
The FEMA-certified pup, worked in earthquake disaster relief in Haiti.
He will turn 10 years old on July 1.
