In Memory of Our K9 Heroes: Honoring Lives of Service and Dedication
This page honors the K9s, service dogs, and facility dogs who have passed on, whether in the line of duty or after a life of service. From military and police K9s to therapy and facility dogs, we celebrate their bravery, loyalty, and the impact they made.
Each K9 is commemorated with a framed poster plaque, gifted to their handlers as a lasting tribute, ensuring their legacy lives on.
K9 Dash

Dash made crucial contributions to search-and-rescue missions and criminal apprehensions. As the department's first K9 officer, Dash's legacy helped establish Amherst’s K9 unit, earning widespread respect and gratitude from his community.
