The Greensboro Police Department in North Carolina is thanking a dog for his help in tracking down a murder suspect.

Although several officers, detectives, and support staff participated in the justice of this case, it was the work of K9 Pete, who tracked the suspect and led officers to find a stolen handgun and cell phone that was used to commit the crime.

Great job K9 Pete- keep up the good work! Another example of the value of working K9s and the reason why "Protecting K9s is our Priority!"

We have some sad news to share from the Blount County Sheriff's Office...retired K9 Daisy has passed away. Shared from the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page:

“It is with sadness today that we announce that retired Blount County K-9 Daisy passed away peacefully Monday.

K-9 Daisy, a Bloodhound handled by Sgt. Allen Russell, was 9 years old. During her time with the Blount County Sheriff's Office, K-9 Daisy, along with her handler Sgt. Russell,  were responsible for tracking and locating many missing and wanted persons locally as well as across the state. In January, K-9 Daisy was diagnosed bone cancer and underwent surgery to amputate her left front leg after veterinarians discovered a malignant tumor. Sgt. Russell said K-9 Daisy recovered quickly from her surgery and she was doing well after becoming a "tripod."

Sheriff James Lee Berrong extends his condolences to Sgt. Russell on the passing of his long-time beloved K-9 partner and friend.”

Rest in peace, sweet Daisy. You will never be forgotten 💙
Another day, another hardworking K9 taking down the bad guys!!

This time, it's K9 Dixi of the Decatur County Sheriff's Office. She and her handler, Deputy Dalton Flowers, recently arrested 42-year old Robert Floyd during a traffic stop, after Dixi alerted Deputy Dalton to drugs in the vehicle.

After the search, authorities confiscated multiple drugs, a handgun, and almost $1600 in cash. Floyd was taken into custody and faces numerous charges.

Way to go, K9 Dixi!!

To everyone at Vested Interest in K9s,

We cannot thank you enough for protecting K9 Dax throughout his nine-year career with the Lake County Sheriff's Office (Illinois). K9 Dax was always safe wearing his protective vest on his numerous deployments on highway patrol and with the Lake County Sheriff's Office Tactical Response Team.
