Topeka police mourning after loss of police service dog<\/p>\n
The Topeka Police Department is in mourning following the passing of one of their police service dogs. The department said Officer Josh Miller went to check on his K-9 partner Benson who was in his kennel, when he was found unresponsive. Miller immediately attempted CPR and took him to an emergency veterinarian where he passed away. Benson’s body was taken to K-State for a necropsy where the cause of death has been ruled inconclusive. TPD said Benson joined the department earlier this year and was assigned to K-9 Officer Miller. The two had just received certification to work the street a few weeks prior to Benson’s passing, according to the department. “We are asking the community to please keep Officer Miller in your thoughts during this difficult time,” the department said in a release sent out Friday morning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
