Died – 8\/24\/15

A popular police service dog in Newfoundland and Labrador has died. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says Arek, a seven-year-old German shepherd, passed away suddenly Monday night in his partner\u2019s presence. The force says Arek was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer two weeks ago. The diagnosis was made after emergency surgery to remove a tumour and his spleen. Arek was with his partner and handler, Const. Adrian Edison, when he died at the officer’s home in St. John’s. He had been a service dog with the force for six years before retiring last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
