Terminally ill dog becomes police K-9 for a day
Police in Pasco, Washington, helped a terminally ill dog named Eddie fulfill some bucket list activities on Monday, January 20, including becoming an honorary police K-9.
PASCO, Wash. - Meet Eddie.
Eddie is a lovable dog in Washington currently being cared for by Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue. Unfortunately, after being diagnosed with an inoperable tumor, Eddie has been given only 6 to 12 months to live.
To make the most out of the time he has left, his foster mom created a bucket list for him. One item on the list was to become a K-9 officer for a day. So the Pasco Police Department decided to help him check that box.
On Jan. 20, Eddie reported for duty.
Wearing a yellow ‘police’ uniform, Eddie was sworn in as a member of the team. He then spent the day taking rides in a cruiser on the lap of Detective Julie Lee and made some stops around town, including Starbucks, PetSmart and a donut shop.
