Dingo, a retired Omaha police dog, ‘took his last run’ Sunday

Dingo the police dog had a reputation for dropping perps on their butts, leaving his tongue hanging loose and chewing through wire kennels. The Omaha Police Department’s retired K-9 died Sunday. Dingo’s fellow dog officers paid tribute to their exuberant furry friend on Twitter. Dingo lived out his last days on a farm. He was happy and loved. Dingo not only for what he did at work but for his personality quirks. “He was built like a boulder and felt like one when he hit you,” Falco’s account said. “He had an odd fixation on biting his leashes. Constantly. Bit right through many. Dingo was remembered not only for what he did at work but for his personality quirks. “He was built like a boulder and felt like one when he hit you,” Falco’s account said. “He had an odd fixation on biting his leashes.
