Shock as ‘outstanding’ South Yorkshire police dog dies suddenly in service<\/p>\n
Police Dog Quinn, who had been a loyal servant to South Yorkshire Police since joining the force in 2016, sadly died on Saturday, May 8, aged just five. The German Shepherd cross Malinois was last year praised by his bosses for hunting down a suspected drug dealer in Sheffield, who was caught with a knife in his pocket and a rucksack full of drugs after climbing out of a window and scampering across rooftops in a bid to evade police. PD Quinn was an outstanding police dog. You would want this dog at any job. He had loads more to give. Superintendent Paul McCurry, South Yorkshire Police\u2019s head of operational support, said: \u201cIt\u2019s important to recognize that police dogs are not only part of the police family, but they become much loved members of their handler\u2019s family. \u201cPolice dogs dedicate their lives to protecting the public and we should never underestimate the attachment that they have with those they work alongside. \u201cI was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of PD Quinn; and my thoughts are with his handler and their family at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
