K9 Bady – Buena Vista, Virgina

Handler – SERGEANT MITCHELL HARRISON

Loyal and Courageous Retired Buena Vista Police K9 Dies

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of a beloved and faithful companion. Bady, retired from serving our community in 2020, having been with the Buena Vista Police Department for five years. Typical of a German Shepard, he was loyal and courageous, but also highly trained in detecting narcotics, tracking, and protecting officers in dangerous situations.Bady was known for his unwavering loyalty to his handlers and always responded quickly and efficiently to commands. His bravery and skill will never be forgotten, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We remember Bady for his dedication to keeping us safe and his courage in the face of danger. He will always be remembered with the highest respect and admiration.
