Rest in peace, K9 Devaney EOW 10/20/2023 "Devaney is an 11 year old Mal that had to be retired as a dual purpose Patrol/Narcotics K9 due to his inability to physically work in high heat/humidity effecting his ability to work. He also started to show signs of degenerative myelopathy where he has slowly been losing control of his hind legs. He was a great partner at work who always had my back no matter what. It's heartbreaking to see him struggle to jump up on the couch or in a car due to his disease. I was Devaney's second handler at 3 yrs old and we worked together for over 7 years with the Massachusetts State Police. He has located numerous suspects, missing adults and children, suicidal persons and Narcotics throughout that time. He is that stereo typical crazy Mal that scared many but is a true sweetheart now that he retired. He shares the house now with two other dogs and is the idol of my 2 year old German Shepherd pet who wishes he was a Police dog! They are always together and enjoy relaxing and playing together. Devaney has a very strong bond with my wife and daughter who he follows everywhere. He loves his beds and still shreds every toy he gets, even though many of his teeth have been removed due to wear and tear over his many years of Patrol work."

Dutch worked from 2012-2022 in Springfield Missouri. He was originally assigned to another handler and then was assigned to me in 2019 and was my first dog. Dutch now enjoys life on 30 acres and loves stealing my kid's food. His favorite treats are apples probably from on patrol when I would give him my apple when I was done with them. He loves going for walks with my two other dogs and loves his squishy beds now. He doesn't even tear them up anymore.
