K-9 officers make sure retired Mansfield K-9 not alone during final moments<\/p>\n
A beloved Mansfield retired police K-9 recently passed after being ill, but city officers made sure that neither he nor his partner were alone. Mansfield Police Chief Ken Coontz said K-9 officer Tyson died December 20 at the age of 11. \u201cHe was not doing well and the kids of his handler, Sgt. Sara Napier slept with him on the floor the night before he died,\u201d Coontz told Fox 8. \u201cThat morning Sgt. Napier was taking him to the vet and all the K-9 officers that were off work, showed up to take him and be there with Tyson and Sgt. Napier.\u201d Coontz said it was important to the officers to be there for Tyson and Napier. On Thursday, K-9 Unit members honored Tyson\u2019s service by presenting Mosier with a framed \u201cEnd of Watch\u201d picture of K-9 Tyson.\u201cHe was a great dog,\u201d Coontz said. \u201cTyson\u2019s service to the community and the Mansfield Police Department is much appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
