RIP Doc.
The Toronto Police Service Dog known as Doc has passed away from cancer.
“In just over a year of service, he made a lasting impact, showing exceptional courage, loyalty, and dedication,” said the Toronto Police’s Association in a posting on its X account, calling it: “A heartbreaking loss for our members and the entire K9 Unit.”
The unit sent “our deepest condolences” to Doc’s handler, Sgt. Andrew Haynes, and his family.
“The bond between them was unbreakable and the loss is deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside Doc,” said the posting.
“He may have only worn the badge for a short time, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of those he protected and the lives he touched. Thank you for your service, Doc.”
