NPD Honors Fallen K-9, Sam
The Newberg-Dundee Police Department squadron rode through town in memorial of their K-9, Sam, who died after experiencing a sudden medical problem, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
“[Sam] was rushed to a vet late last week with a sudden medical problem, and although we were hopeful for a good outcome, poor Sam was not able to recover,” the post read.
Sam, a Belgian Malinois, and his handler, Ofc. Paul Rapet, established themselves as one of the “most hard working teams in the area,” the post continued.
“Our K9’s live at home with their handlers and are a part of their families,” the department’s post read. “While the loss is deeply impactful to all members of our department, it is especially hard on the handlers who spend each and every day with these special dogs. The kind words and community support has definitely been appreciated.”
