K9 EX you were one of two Police Service Dogs that started your Department's K9 Unit in 1982. Thank you for your service and loyalty of being a handler's best partner.

I am glad to have been able to bring your story out of the shadows and pay you the tribute and recognition that had been over looked for many years. RIP K9 EX ...
