West Des Moines Police Department says K-9 dies<\/p>\n
It is with many, very heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Officer Rony, the West Des Moines K-9 Police Dog. Rony started his career with the West Des Moines Police Department back in 2004. He was deployed over 900 times during his career. After retiring from the force in 2012, Rony spent his remaining years at home with Officer Brent Kock and his family. In 2013 Rony was honored for his service with an induction into the Iowa Animal Hall of Fame. Rony\u2019s life accomplishments including the many lives he touched is simply immeasurable. Rony\u2019s continuous hard work, loyalty to the community, dedication to the West Des Moines Police Department, and endless successes will never be forgotten. Our thoughts go out the the Kock family as well as the West Des Moines Police Department in this time of great loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
