Fri, Aug 18, 2017 — It has been a sad week in Bixby, for members of the police department.
Their beloved K-9 of 6 years and 5 months, Louis, had to be put down. He was a dual-purpose K-9, who helped the force with gun and drug arrests.
The department saluted Louis as he entered River Trail Animal Hospital. A final call went out over the radio, signaling he had passed.
He was the department's only K-9. They will now rely on the assistance of other agencies, when a K-9 officer is needed.
“People don’t realize sometimes, how much of an asset a K-9 is to law enforcement,” an officer said.
