Rest In Peace Kylo you brave, brave boy♡
We have an enormous respect for our law enforcement canines and the men and women they work beside. Our thoughts and prayer go out to Kylo's team, handler and family.
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice♡
A Portland police K-9 on his last shift and a suspect were killed as multiple law enforcement agencies tried to take a violent offender into custody Thursday afternoon in Southeast Portland, officials said.
Kylo was serving his last shift before retirement. Officials said the dog was taken to two separate animal hospitals in an effort to save his life.
“Kylo is a beloved member of the Portland police,” Benner said. “It’s not a stretch to say that our K-9s are like officers. It’s emotional over here. People lost a partner. We haven’t lost a K-9 since 2014.”
Police planned a procession Thursday evening to take Kylo’s remains from the Blue Pearl Pet Hospital in Northeast Portland to the Oregon Humane Society, officials said.
