“Police K9 Rex N765 passed away peacefully today after a 13 week battle with Kidney Cancer. Despite being sick, Rex loved to go to work and a was a productive member of our Police Department until the very end. Rex had the rare combination of having a kind hearted spirit and a hard working drive that was second to none. He was a long-coated GSD with a floppy ear that brought smiles to everyone he met, a master of Explosives Detection he was the protector of travellers in his job. A true American Hero, trained at Lackland AFB, San Antonio Tx. He will be missed. RIP my friend EOW 02/17/12.”
