PHOENIX — Phoenix Police honored the K-9 killed in the line of duty at a ceremonial service on Thursday.
Bane, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois, died on April 17 after entering a home to locate a suspect who had been involved in a high-speed chase and carjacked two vehicles.
“There are those who were born to do this job,” a police officer said during the ceremony. “A good nose, a strong drive and bite, yet sociable as the modern police K-9 has become.
“Bane excelled in all these areas.”
