RIP Mick, a brave officer, who happened to be a dog

Wounded Portland police Officer Jeff Dorn says his K9 kept him alive: 'Mick saved my life'

Touching Surprise Procession for Fallen Hero K-9 Dog
"In this situation, the dog was doing its job. It was protecting our community. It's tragic that we lost the dog," said Portland Police Chief Mike Reese. "As far as a handler, my heart goes out to him and his family,” said Hall. “It’s almost like losing somebody close to you, like a family member almost; I mean they’re part of the family, they live with us."
Mick was found dead of a gunshot wound under a hedge after an intensive search by police, volunteers, and others. The German Shepherd had just completed training for K-9 duty in March.
