Handler – Sgt. Stephen Wheeles
Retired Indiana police dog dies after years of service
A retired Indiana police dog, who served the community for several years, has died. Kane has died at the age of 13. He served Indiana State police from December 2007 until his retirement in 2015. In his golden years, Kane enjoyed chasing tennis balls and relaxing. Kane worked alongside Sgt. Stephen Wheeles for years, assisting in countless investigations in the Jennings County area. “His age, along with years of police K-9 work, finally caught up to him and his body just couldn’t hold on any longer. He is pain free now,” Wheeles said. “Job well done, Kane. You will be missed. Rest easy,” he added.
