Notts Police dog unexpectedly dies from complicated illness after what was thought to be successful surgery
A Nottinghamshire Police dog has unexpectedly died after having what was thought to be successful surgery after being taken seriously ill. PD Kyle died on Wednesday (October 25) and was surrounded by his family at home when he closed his eyes after fighting a complicated illness. Kyle’s handler PC Paul Burns said: “Kyle spent his last hours with me, my wife and our three children who he loved dearly. “He sat by the children while they had a bath and lay with us in the eve – he was the most beautiful, loving and hardworking dog respected by all. “It’s not fair that such a natural police dog just coming into his prime with years more service to come has suffered this bad luck. “He had an amazing ability to switch between a loving family dog at home with the kids and our pet Shih Tzu to a highly driven police dog at work. “We are so proud to have had him in our lives – rest in peace Kyle.” Sergeant Andy Downie of Nottinghamshire Police Dog Section said: “I can’t put into words how much he will be missed and how widely the loss of Kyle will be felt across the whole section, as well as the public. “Kyle was such a fantastic police dog and made an outstanding team alongside his handler Paul. “Our thoughts are with Kyle’s family at this tragic time.”
