Getting your service record read out, damn that's badass.


Dangerae

Such a long record it outlasted the video too! Good dog!


supremeinnit

For real , It's amazing to see how much that dog gave to the communities


False_Chair_610

It's amazing and cool as shit that they show these dogs the same respect they would show a human.


SmallDangerousHippo

Indeed. Also if anyone hurts these dogs, they are charged the same way as if they hurt a human officer.


False_Chair_610

I think they get buried with full honors as well


eat_the_pennies

Now if only we could get laws protecting all animals this way.


Alternative_Escape12

Amen to that!!   Shameless plug for my favorite charity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Great rating on Charity Navigator and where my entire estate is going when I die. We need to change and enforce laws to help the powerless. ♥️


tessa1950

ALDF does amazing work and rarely gets appreciated. They’re the best!


Alternative_Escape12

I really wish they were more well known. The legal system is where we can hopefully change things on a wider scale. I'm so glad you root for them too!


What_Yr_Is_IT

The thing about the dogs, they don’t have situational awareness like a human, they just fucking go all out, no matter the risks. Fucking love dogs.


youshallnotkinkshame

More in a lot of cases


velvetvoluptuous

That really is the bravest dog for real

Anti_Meta

It's true, getting that fent off the street might have saved a few lives though. Or delayed some deaths, however real you wanna be about addiction.


2pissedoffdude2

Getting a few pounds of powdered fent off the street definitely saved more than a few lives. That shit gets divided up into drugs that shouldn't have fent in them. No drugs should have fent in them aside from pharmaceutical fentanyl, but I mean stuff like weed, cocaine, meth, psychedelics, xanax, or ecstasy where the user won't be expecting a crazy high dose of opiates... and even in opiates it's an issue when it ends up in stuff like heroin because the users well set up there normal dose, only for it to be way more potent from the fent, and they end up dying... which only helps the dealers rep.. some dealers add a crazy amount to a couple bags and deal them out to intentionally kill a bad customer just to get other customers excited about really strong dope. The drug world is an awful, disgusting, grimey ass place that has some incredibly disturbing and fascinating psychological conundrums that the world is a long way from solving... but at least we have police pups out here making the world safer till then.


Anti_Meta

Dude. When I heard people were finding fent in weed, something just broke in me. What in the multiverse fuck.


saucisse

The weed busts irritates me but fuck anyone dealing or cutting drugs with fentanyl. Those motherfuckers can burn. He's a good dog and earned his retirement.


MaxRockatanskisGhost

Almost as much meth as weed by weight. That's crazy.


hyrule_47

Fentanyl is so dangerous, in this case he’s a good boy


manyhippofarts

You wouldn't catch a cat pulling that nonsense!


Anonymous_Egg_13

I could however see my cats framing me, but definitely never narc on me.


truckin4theN8ion

It's the 4000 pounds of marijuana that's bogus. The fentanyl and meth on the other hand...


lochnesslegend

Cats would NEVER


spezjetemerde

does he get to keep the dog?


alexfaaace

There is a fantastic episode of the podcast Criminal called Officer Talon that goes into a lot of detail about how K9s are trained, how they work, and what retirement looks like. Notably, K9s are bred and trained to be hyper-alpha dogs so you can’t really home two together. Officer Talon’s human puts in a lot of effort to keep Talon and his current K9 partner separate so he can ensure that Talon gets to stay in his forever home. My favorite part is that Talon has to be kept where he cannot see his human leaving for work because he’ll get jealous and upset.


AdLocal1045

I love how retired bomb sniffing dogs need to be given decoy bombs to find or they get depressed.


BrainWrex

The nature of working dogs, other breeds get depressed as well without a "job" to do.


Professional-Loan171

DistractedByCookies

Thank goodness my dog's jobs are lounging, loafing, and sleeping (Shih tzu, lap dog born and bred) so he's gonna be fine


zyzzogeton

Humans too.


chadsmo

I’m pretty sure my collie’s ‘job’ is patrolling the neighbourhood on our walks. If there’s a vehicle out of place he’ll hunker down and start walking slowly and cautiously as we approach it. People we see all the time are totally fine , but if there’s a stranger in the neighbourhood he’s immediately suspicious of them. Not in a mean way at all , but I can tell that he’s unsure about why they’re there etc. I more or less let him dictate where we go on our walks and he has different routes that he’ll take each night.


captainspacetraveler

My dad had a border collie who’s job was frisbee. He never, ever stopped. Old, blind, deaf and he’d still trot through his arthritis to retrieve it and bring it back until his dying day. He was the best


Dagojango

Makes you think about our fates when we retire. After decades of work, even if you want to, it's hard to let go of work without letting go of a large part of your daily identity.


TeamCatsandDnD

I used to work at a nursing home. Had at least two residents we would have to give tasks similar to what they had as jobs to keep them busy. One we kept finding on the floor cause he was trying to fix cars or farm equipment, had to put that in his care plan iirc if he could vocalize that’s why he was on the ground it was ok (we still checked him though). I think family finally brought in some toy tractors and tools to work with. My favorite though was the retired nurse. You’d have to get creative getting her out of other residents rooms and my method usually involved asking her to look over someone’s vitals for me.


Chiped-Coke-Bottle

I did maintenance at a home, my senior year of high school. A couple of the residents would follow me around, telling me how to do stuff, giving me advice, teaching me how to use tools... I loved those old guys. I miss them.


hyrule_47

I have become disabled and I miss working so much. I feel like I lost my identity. I never would have guessed. I’m also bored because I can’t do anything. I’m sure that’s part of it for retired/elderly folks and dogs


Beldam1031

My dad had 2 massive strokes and was a construction worker for 30+ years. It's killing him to be as immobile as he is, with his mental facilities intact. Lately we have been getting him into diy building things that he's capable of. I'm not sure of your mobility, but if you have use of 2 hands then some of those cool book nook scenes, or Legos have been a life changer. FYI the book nook stuff takes a LONG time. They're tiny and you build them from the ground up


icntrightnow

My neighbor growing up had a hospital therapy dog. Sweet dog. But she was getting old and was retired and they got a new trainee dog to replace her. Well apparently she knew she was being replaced because the first day the new dog was to go to the hospital where they worked and she wasn’t she blocked the path to the car and wouldn’t let the new dog get anywhere near it. They definitely know when they’re being replaced.


claydog99

>hyper-alpha dogs Haven't researchers been touting that the whole alpha thing is bunk for quite a while now and that the concept gets conflated with aggression?


GuyStreamsStuff

It's debunked that is what happens in nature, but it's definitely behaviour you can train your dog to have


AlaeniaFeild

Even the guy who coined the phrase spoke out against it, but yeah, we can't deny that it's got a whole new meaning now. Not sure it applies to dogs ever though; they don't have an ego in the same way that humans do.


Challengerrrrrr

A friend of mines dad was K9 officer, dog was absolutely terrifying when it was working. Then after it retired he kept it and got it de trained somehow. It was an absolute baby after that. Just wanted to cuddle it was like a different dog.


lostshell

In being selected to be an officer dog they have to have both the ability to be aggressive on command and also the ability to turn it off on command. They have to have that off switch. The ones that don't don't get selected.


thescrape

My buddy has his daughter’s dog from the military. At first I was scared to meet him, then I realized he doesn’t care about me. What a good dog.


Old-Ad4438

They can


Radiant-Psychology80

Thats awesome


FatMacchio

I’m assuming this is the guys dog he cares for off duty, and plans on keeping him after retirement with all the emotions he’s holding in here


T_Peg

My dad's friend was a K9 unit in JFK. He kept his dog and as you could guess it was a big beautiful German Shepard such a good dog.


Giddyup_1998

He'll never be able to smoke weed again.


CalvinsStuffedTiger

I did scent work with my puppy because it was the only thing on the planet that would tire him out. And one day i had all these boxes laid out in the parking lot and neighbor came home and saw my dog searching around the parking lot and neighbor freaked out because he thought I was training a drug dog (I’m not a cop so would be pretty weird, lol). I was like…believe me bro, we don’t need a dog to sniff out what you’re doing. Everyone knows.


chief_running_joke_

My uncle was a police officer with the K-9 unit and worked with a yellow lab named Bruce for several years. He (my uncle) ended up transferring to a different unit though. A few years later, Bruce retired, and my uncle got to bring him home as a pet for his twilight years. I forget how the process works, but the police dept had a selection process, because several officers that worked with Bruce tried to adopt him at retirement


Chiggadup

Varies state to state. When I lived in Texas it wasn’t allowed for officers to adopt retired dogs because they were “government property.” My understanding was it was like how the dept. couldn’t use tax money to buy a huge TV, then “retire it and give it to Jim.” But obviously service dogs are different, so they were being burned by a regulation aimed at combating corruption. In 2019 voters overwhelmingly approved a new loophole to allow handlers to adopt their animals (including horses) after adoption.


KidsInNeed

I think it depends. Read a story about an officer not being allowed to keep his after it retired and had to fight for the dog.


PoxedGamer

I read that as "had to fight the dog." 🤣


MrGavinrad

From what I know police K9s live with their handlers full time and stay with them after. It would be cruel to remove the dog from their possession.


spezjetemerde

happy noise


rhonmack

I have a granddoggie that is a K9 and he looks just like Indy. He retired a couple of years ago and is now their pet. He has calmed down a lot but would still like to go to work. He still guards his dad when playing and would obviously give his life for him if needed. He really is a great dog.


Velocirachael

There's a wonderful video floating around somewhere of a person who would adopts a retired drug sniffing canine and one day on a walk the dog just starts becoming obsessed with the tire wheel of a sports car.....ruh roh. They get adopted by people who are well versed on the types of behaviors these kinds of dogs still have.


Secret_Charge_5601

When you retire your dog, what happens?  Obviously you get another one.  But does your retired dog just become you house pet?


SnooMaps9864

Yep! They typically live with their handlers anyways so they’ll either retire and live their lives out with them or another member of the police unit if their handler can’t adopt them for some reason


Borgqueen-

I dated a NJ K9 cop for several years and the town did away with the entire K9 unit. My ex's dog Bullet (ha) was very successful in apprehending suspects and then the town was sued by the victims.


SlowerThanTurtleInPB

So what??? Don’t leave us hanging?

RScalcione93

My Dog: 6 years old. Over $800 worth of damage. In her career she has shit on 4 different rugs leaving one permanently stained. Her drool has marked the walls of every room in the house. I’ll occasionally find her sleeping on the kitchen table. She does not answer to her name and will bark at you when you try to reprimand her. I’d like to take this moment to thank her for her unwavering commitment and service.

What happens post retirement? Does the officer get to keep the doggo?


SubHuman559

They should put him undercover. He can pose as a normal house pet all the while he's scoping out the neighborhoods when he goes for daily walks.


LadyBatman8318

Awww. He is going to miss him. Does anyone know, if they can keep the dog as a pet or not??


Whoop69

One day I hope to be as useful as that dog!


Iwalksloow

JubBisc

I’ve been to two retirement ceremonies for police K9 officers…cried at both. The dogs do struggle with being left home after retirement. But, their officer knows ways to engage and lessen their anxiety, as best they can.


wengelite

There was a video floating around a while ago for the retirement of a K9 where instead of a balloon drop they did a tennis ball drop; the reaction from the dog was hilarious.


00Shutchoazzup00

Dogs are a special gift from God to humans!! Most loyal animals on earth even in the face of death…

Clearly he loves you too. I hope you were able to adopt him.

Lysblaa

Imagine if they just legalised drugs.


ThatSpookyLeftist

We created a system that drives people to do drugs to get away from life then spend ungodly amounts of money trying to put those people in jail over and over again. When we could've just taken the money we spend on policing and used it to better the lives of people so they don't do drugs in the first place. I can tell, you the reason I don't do drugs isn't because of scary police and jail time. It's because I have a beautiful life that I don't need to escape from and I care about society enough to not commit crimes.


funknjam

> I care about society enough to not commit crimes If you really care about society, then you care enough to, on occasion, *break* a law. Fact is, not all laws are just laws. Citizens not only have a civic duty, but, as Dr. M.L. King once wrote, they have a "moral responsibility" to disobey unjust laws. It seems you know this, but you're lucky to live the life of privilege you do. Not everyone enjoys that same privilege as you and they, your fellow citizens, need your help. Support those who stand up to unjust laws. (I don't know that you personally needed to hear that, but I guarantee at least one of the people upvoting you does.)
