K9 Ike – Garden City, Idaho

Handler – Cpl. Faulkner 

Garden City Police mourn the passing of narcotics detection K9 Ike

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of retired K9 Ike,” Garden City Police Department said Monday. “Ike retired from the Department earlier this year, after serving many years as a narcotics detection canine. His abilities led to numerous illicit drug seizures, and helped make the streets of Garden City safer.” Users on Facebook came out to offer their condolences to the Garden City PD. “Thank you for you service, sacrifices and assistance to mankind,” one user wrote. “I loved that dog so very much. I’m so sorry for your loss!” another said. “So sorry to hear this. RIP Officer Ike.” “Ike will be missed greatly!” Garden City PD said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his handler, Cpl. Faulkner, and family. Ike, enjoy the endless supply of tennis balls in doggie heaven! God speed!”
