Department announces sudden passing of Rhode Island active-duty K-9 Zeus
A local police department issued a sorrowful announcement concerning one of their K9s.
According to Cranston Police, K-9 Zeus passed away Saturday afternoon after he experienced a sudden illness. He was nine years old.
“K-9 Zeus, with his handler Sergeant Gregg Bruno, served our department with great distinction, dedication, and honor. He left a lasting impact on so many over the years and was responsible for the seizure of narcotics, firearms, and US currency. K-9 Zeus also successfully tracked both criminals and missing persons. He was the star of many community demonstrations. He will be greatly missed!”
A funeral procession will take place on Monday with a brief stop in front of Cranston Police Headquarters for a final salute. The public is welcome to line the yet-to-be-released route to pay their respects.
It is clear that Zeus left an impact on Cranston PD.
“While Zeus has crossed the rainbow bridge, he will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Zeus! Please keep Sergeant Bruno is your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
