Police give guard of honor to K-9 on his way to be put down after losing battle with kidney disease

German Shepherd police dog Kaiser is given a farewell guard of honor from members the Plymouth, Massachusetts police department as the dog makes his way to the vet to be put down after losing the battle with kidney disease.

 

PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Those who have suffered the loss of a pet often describe it as if they lost a member of the family. For a Plymouth police officer, losing his dog meant losing his partner.

Kaiser, a member of Plymouth's K-9 team, was recently diagnosed with a severe kidney disease, according to the Plymouth Police Working Dog Foundation's Facebook page. The dog was placed into retirement when the disease began to take a toll on him.

Officer Jaime Lebretton, who was in charge of Kaiser, ultimately made what he calls the "heart-wrenching" decision to have the dog put down after seeking the advice of a veterinarian, trainer, and family members.

Kaiser was laid to rest Friday. Members of the Plymouth Police Department gathered to say goodbye to their friend and co-worker.

"Kaiser taught me more about myself and my profession than I could have ever taught him," the dog's partner wrote on Facebook. "I feel privileged to have had a front row seat to witness his bravery and heroic actions while serving the people of Plymouth and my brothers and sisters in blue."

Our Shiba Inu Rascal probably wouldn't even care unless someone tried to steal "his" couch or beduploadfromtaptalk1366390666186.jpg

 

He was very unhappy when I took this picture while he was trying to sleep

He does a great job of guarding the window from birds though!

I haven't decided if I'm going through with it yet or not, but if it does happen, looking possibly at the 8 month mark.

Thanks!  Kids always making fun of the poor dog (bat dog).. lol

[Walt of Destiny 412]

He'll grow into them for sure.

 

I did Bruno at a year. If you decide not to, he'll be a handful for sure. At the year mark their chest will have popped and he'll have that muscular bad ass look. Some do it way too soon and males look like females.

 

Even after only year it took another 18 months for him to calm down. Just FYI.

Yes, Bruno was at about that until about 1.5 years. Then he got bigger and more muscular with a daily run. He's now about 110 lbs with no sense of humor. We've been training for about a year+ with CCK9.

MY GOD! I have fallen in love with the "Coated" GSDs.  Then again mine sheds like a friggen monster so I can't imagine a long haired!  Mine is just over a year we nuetered at about 10 months.  He is dog aggressive and we are trying to fix that so he can go back to class!  Maybe more "daily runs" would be good for us both

Yes, the long hairs are great. Bruno actually is pretty good with the shedding. He goes to groomers once a month and gets combed out. He hates it. Bruno is not dog aggressive as long as they don't act dominant. But uppity ones he can't stand. And I understand that... He has 3 girlfriends that he hangs out with all the time. Saying that, his main job is protection, so if he doesn't know you he is aggressive. And getting to know him is a process. So unless its family or friends we don't bother. Some people he just doesn't like. No matter what. Breeder says that they can sense nervousness and fear and smell adrenaline. So people generally give him a wide berth.

 

Here he is with his charges:

I dunno why my pics aren't up now, they were showing up when I put them here and now that I came back they are gone... either way he is 85 lbs and a lovable pain in the butt!!
