Handler – Officer Trisha Saeger
Retired Sheboygan police dog Bud died. He worked with the department for almost 10 years.
A retired Sheboygan police dog named Bud has died, the department said Wednesday. Bud worked with the Sheboygan Police Department from March 2009 until Dec. 10, 2018, with his partner, Officer Trisha Saeger, the department said in a Facebook post. “Bud was an amazing partner and made a lasting impression on the department and the Sheboygan Community,” the department wrote on Facebook. “We are grateful for his service and ask that you keep Officer Saeger in your prayers the next few days.” The Sheboygan Police Department has had a canine unit since 1989, according to its website. The first three police dogs were used for both patrol work and narcotics detection until 2006, when the department decided to use the dogs solely for drug detection. Bud was the department’s fifth police dog.
