K9 Ribot – Queensland, Australia

Died – 8/5/17
Handler – Senior Constable Glen Ayoub

Remembering a fallen comrade

It is with sympathy that we advise of the passing of Retired Police Dog Ribot, PD260 at 5.30pm on August 5. Unfortunately, Ribot succumbed to an age related medical condition at home with his handler and family. Ribot was handled by Senior Constable Glen Ayoub and was well known throughout his service in the Gladstone, Toowoomba and Moreton Districts. Ribot operationally served the Queensland Police and Community from November 2008 through till his retirement in November 2015, a total of seven years. He was respected by officers for his immeasurable ability as a police dog and unmistakeable, with a fully black coat and 40 plus kilos. Since 2015, Ribot lived out his retirement life with Glen and his family until his passing. Ribot was a massive dog with a heart equal in size and he will be sorely missed. Our most sincere condolences go to Glen and his family in this difficult time.
