Kilo\u2019s last ride: a community says \u201cgoodbye\u201d to beloved K-9<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always tough to say goodbye to a pet. It\u2019s especially tough when that pet is also a police dog. Such is the case for K-9 Kilo. She and handler Brad Miller, now with Indiana State Police, served many years together in the Sullivan County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Today, Kilo took her last ride. Recently, a veterinarian diagnosed Kilo with a terminal illness. It\u2019s news no family wants to hear of their pet. It forced the Miller family into a decision no family wants to make: they chose to end Kilo\u2019s pain. \u201cBecause Kilo has served here along with Brad for several years, we thought it was fitting that they come by the sheriff\u2019s department and stop\u2026\u201d said current Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom. By stop, he meant stop for Kilo\u2019s final call for service. Several on-lookersk, including Miller\u2019s children, nieces and nephews, braved a steady rain to pay their respects to Kilo. She took her last ride, leading a police escort to the Rainbow Bridge. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a police K-9, she\u2019s a member of a family,\u201d said Cottom. Today, two families said goodbye to Kilo, and thanked her for everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
