Handler – Officer Braden

Hilliard Division of Police mourning loss of K9 Kane

The Hilliard Division of Police is mourning the loss of K9 Kane, who was put to sleep over the weekend due to an aggressive form of cancer. The police department said Kane’s condition was expected to become worse with no possibility of recovery. Kane’s ninth birthday was just one day before he passed away. He joined the Hilliard Division of Police in 2014 and served alongside his partner, Officer Braden. A Belgian Malinois, Kane was dual trained in narcotics detection, article searches, tracking, and criminal apprehension. “As soon as he sees me put my gear on, he knows it’s time to work,” Officer Braden said in a recent interview. “He is driven more so than any other dog that I know.” Hilliard Police said Kane was a people-friendly dog and made many public appearances throughout his career. “We’re crushed to lose him as an agency. He was a regular, welcome visitor to many in the department. We were happy to play “tug” with his favorite toy (a piece of fire hose) and provide a good ear scratch and belly rub,” the Hilliard Division of Police said. Kane was also the family dog to Officer Braden, his wife, and their four children.
