K9 Gold Of The Waverly Police Department Crossed The Rainbow Bridge

K9 Gold served with the police department in Ohio and this weekend, he crossed the rainbow bridge, leaving the members of the Waverly police and Pike County heartbroken. Of course, any dog that crosses the rainbow bridge makes for a lot of heartache. But when they die while serving, it seems even worse. There won’t be happy days of lazy retirement ahead for the good dog.

K9 Gold Passes Away – Trained In 2013

Not every police dog gets remembered in Netflix movies. But for officers in Marion, Waverly, and others who work in Ohio, he will be remembered. Originally, the Belgian Malinois came from France and he passed away aged 11 years old. Like Ruby the shelter dog who became a police K-9, Gold died at a veterinarian’s office. Actually, it must have just about broken the heart of his handler and partner, Sergeant Taylor. When the pooch passed, his family went along, as did Chief Winfield.

K9 Gold was trained at K9 Six back in 2013 and since then, made a name for himself in Marion and amongst all of those at the Waverly department. Actually, he seemed to be a very talented dog and become an expert at tracking, finding narcotics, and taking down criminals. As a multi-tasker, he often got called out to assist other agencies and racked up an impressive record with drug seizures. But this week, he passed away and thoughts turn to the hander who spent so much time with the police dog.
