K9 Niro

Today I had to say goodbye to my friend for the last time. He had long since hung up his patrol lead and transitioned into retirement. Over the last few months his health has declined. He has been a good friend and always had a happy look on his face when we would play or when he would just see me. I loved him and my family loved him. He and I worked together as a team and he was my first partner. I will always remember the time we spent together in my patrol car and will cherish his memory forever. Today I said goodbye to Niro, Van Alstyne Police Department’s K-9 from 2001-2003 and my dear friend.
