Handler – Officer Bobby Baile
It is with sadness and a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of Canine Patty, the retired canine partner of Officer Bobby Baile. Officer Baile had to make the difficult decision on December 27, 2021 due to Canine Patty’s diminishing health. Canine Patty faithfully served Officer Baile and vigilantly protected the people of the States of New York and Connecticut as an explosive detection canine from February 2010 to February 2018. During his active career, Patty assisted Officer Baile at many critical incidents always making sure his partner came home safe. Canine Patty spent most of his time protecting the citizens of New York by performing thousands of explosive sweeps and deterring acts of terrorism in key locations of the metropolitan NYC area. Patty was a favorite of many school children and adults that were fortunate to see Patty at a demonstration. His kind, warm and gentle demeanor set him apart from other canines. Canine Patty was certified by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA), North American Work Dog Association (NAPWDA), ATF NORT Certification and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in Explosives Detection. In 2014 Officer Baile and Canine Patty competed in the USPCA Explosive Detection Nationals, in St. Paul’s, Minnesota. Canine “Patty” was named in honor of Yonkers Firefighter Patrick Joyce who heroically gave his life in the line of duty on October 2, 2009. Canine Patty will always be remembered as a loyal partner and friend Officer Baile. Patty will be especially missed by Allison, Avery and Bobby Baile.
