Former Cape Cod Police K9 Dies

DENNIS, MA — The Cape Cod law enforcement community is currently mourning the loss of a longtime, four-legged, contributor to a local police department.

Dennis Police Department officials shared that retired police K9 Bodo has died. He was just shy of his 14th birthday.

Bodo served the town for nearly a decade, retiring in 2020.

"Those who worked with Bodo, will remember his ferocious bark, and ability to shake his K9 vehicle. What most people didn't experience was his goofy personality, and the love he had for his family," police officials said.

They continued:

"Bodo never gave up the ferocious bark, even after retirement. Any noise or stranger around his house would prompt the barking. Most of the time, he did not even bother to get up off of his comfortable bed. Bodo loved his job, was fiercely loyal, and never asked for anything in return. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten."
