While most dogs prefer spending their days lounging in the grass or playing fetch, brave K-9 dogs are driven to protect their partners and catch bad guys without a second thought about the harm that may come to them in the process.
Police K-9 Nicky was one of those dogs who refused to give up his place on the K-9 unit, even after surviving a brutal machete attack while on duty. Yet on March 31, just two months after that brutal attack, Nicky was back doing the work that made him happy with partner Sergeant Eric Kerns and was working to take down an alleged double-murderer.
Nicky had been deployed to apprehend the suspect but had gotten caught in the crossfire when he opened fire on the Las Vegas police.
Nicky was just as much an integral part of the LVMPD as any other human officer and was given a send-off fit for a hero. The entire human and K-9 units showed up for Nicky’s funeral where they shared stories of his bravery and commitment.
Before being laid to rest, the entire police K-9 unit performed the ‘bark of honor’ to say goodbye to the eight-year-old dog who was taken too soon.
Watch the entire video below to hear this special send-off, and watch the touching memorial service here.
