After leading officers on a high-speed chase for 30 minutes on Sunday, a suspect crashed his car and attempted to flee on foot.
That's when Kye caught up with him.
The K-9 officer was attempting to apprehend the suspect when officials say the man began stabbing him repeatedly.
The dog was expected to survive the injuries, but died Monday.
According to reports, Kye's partner opened fire when he realized the K-9 was being stabbed, killing the suspect.
