We are saddened to announce the passing of retired canine \u201cDickey.\u201d The following was written by his last handler, Deputy Quisto Moore, and the one Dickey spent his last years with. Dickey. Dickey was born in Holland on January 18th, 2007. At a year and a few months old, he began his career at the Brunswick County Sheriff\u2019s Office in April of 2008. Dickey served as a multi-purpose narcotics detection dog with his first handler. Dickey excelled in all forms of his work however, he was most known for narcotic detection, and especially criminal apprehension. In September of 2015, Dickey was partnered with his current handler, Deputy Quisto Moore. Deputy Moore worked with Dickey until his retirement in 2018. During his 10 year career at the Sheriff\u2019s Office, Dickey had countless narcotic, evidence, and suspect finds – including his last narcotic find which was a kilo of cocaine. 911 dispatchers always knew it was Deputy Moore before he spoke because Dickey always had to have the first word in a transmission over the radio with anyone. So often that Deputy Moore could not call a chase out over the radio, due to them not being able to understand him because of the barking! Dickey was the dog that everyone heard about through his deployments. Though Dickey was certified by the USCPA, he was known by other deputies at the Sheriffs Office as the \u201cstreet dog\u201d, one that you knew once he arrived on scene, the suspect better give up or there was going to be consequences for their actions. Once Dickey retired, he became a pet to Deputy Moore and his wife, Michelle. He was loved every day and enjoyed retirement, however he would still loved to work! He would show this at home by still searching the perimeter of the house and every thing in it. He always made sure that everything was safe when he was around. Dickey passed away peacefully Monday, May 24th, 2021 at around 7:20pm with Deputy Moore at his side. Deputy Moore would like to send a big thank you to Dr. Rickman and Sarah Lowrey who came in after hours and made his passing easier and pain free. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
