It’s not an easy job being in the police or military. You need to put your life on the line for your duty, and that require a lot of courage. K9 officers are no exception. They also have to put their life on the line while in the line of duty. They face dangerous situations on a daily basis just like their human counterparts.
Not all officers can live to tell the tale of their service. Credo was a K9 officer in Long Beach, California at the time of his death. The Long Beach police force endured an incredible loss when Credo died during a shootout with a suspect that had a deadly weapon. Credo was 4 years old at the time of his death and had been working as a K9 officer for 2 years.
