A K-9 with the Milledgeville Police Department has passed away unexpectedly following a medical emergency.According to Chief of Police Dray Swicord, K-9 Falco suffered an unexpected medical emergency on Monday. He took to Facebook to acknowledge the working dog’s hard work.”K9 Falco, you’ve served beyond what was expected, thanks to a great handler, Maj. Linc Boyer. Keep chasing, Falco, and RIP,” wrote Chief Swicord.Major Linc Boyer expressed his personal loss online, reflecting on their time together and honoring K-9 Falco’s legacy.”I lost my sidekick, my partner and more importantly my best friend earlier today. As hard as everything else was today the hardest part was walking back in the door a few minutes ago and it being completely silent,” wrote Boyer. “Falco, you were one hell of a dog and had my back all the years on the road. You’ve pulled me through some of the thickest and muckiest places that buffalo swamp, Milledgeville/Baldwin and surrounding counties had to offer and had me questioning several times if we were chasing a ghost but then you’d prove me wrong and we’d take one in custody.”Boyer also thanked the staff at Campbell Veterinary Hospital for taking good care of him over the years.”I love you Falco and I hope heaven has a Chick-Fil-A so you can eat all the Chick-n-Minis you want!!,” wrote Boyer. “I’ll never forget you big guy, rest easy.”
