Police K9 Dies After Contracting
Pneumonia
The Eagan Police Department is
mourning the loss of one of their
own — Police K9 Zebo has died after
contracting pneumonia. The Eagan
Police Department said Zebo was
being treated for a debilitating
intestinal disorder at the
Veterinary Medical Center at the
University of Minnesota. While
recovering from surgery, he
contracted pneumonia which
complicated his progress. On March
8, his condition deteriorated and
veterinarians concluded he was
showing no signs of recovery,
according to the police department.
“Due to his suffering and declining
health, Zebo was euthanized,” the
department stated on its website.
Zebo served with the Eagan Police
Department for five years with his
partner, Officer Robbe Waller.

Tributes to hero police dog Zeus
Police
dog handler Matthew Lee with Zeus on his
retirement in 2007
A hero police dog, who spent all his working
life in Bradford, has died after enjoying
retirement with his handler. Zeus, who was 11,
had spent a life of leisure with former PC Mark
Lawman after retiring two years ago. PC Lawman
retired a year later. The pair had worked as a
team in Bradford, based at
Eccleshill
police station, from 2004, when Zeus was aged
two, until 2011. They found fame on local TV,
which followed Zeus during his working day in
Bradford, and nationally when the German
Shepherd and his handler demonstrated body
armour they had to use.
Mr. Lawman said one of Zeus’s
finest moments was at the start of his career
when he was responsible for bringing armed
robbers to book. His proud owner said: “There
had been a robbery at a newsagents shop in
Windhill,
Shipley.
Zeus had only been out working on the streets
for a couple of weeks. He tracked the robber
from the shop, down some concrete steps, over
the road, and across waste ground where he found
a big piece of wood which had been used as a
weapon in the robbery." Then he found a
Halloween mask which the robber had thrown away.
It had DNA on it which matched that found on the
fence post, which had been ripped from the
robber’s own fence.
“It resulted in a very good conviction from
nothing, and a substantial custodial sentence.
He would not have been found without Zeus.”
Mr.
Lawman added: “Zeus worked hard and was
successful, with a substantial amount of
arrests. But he was very amenable and liked
being fussed over, so we visited a lot of
elderly residents’ homes in Bradford and
Keighley,
and a lot of schools. “After his retirement he
came and lived with us at our house and had a
very different sort of life. He was chilled and
soon got out of work mode and was quite happy to
saunter round. “He was a wonderful servant and
companion and will be sadly missed.”
