The Brandon Police Service (BPS) is mourning the loss of a nine-year-old police dog named Storm.
On Tuesday, the service announced the dog passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday.
Storm, who was born on Dec. 24, 2015, joined the BPS police service dog unit in December 2017, where he served as the partner to Const. Shawn Haggarty.
During his time with police, Storm helped in high-risk operations, tracked suspects involved in serious crimes, and aided in the seizure of illicit drugs and contraband. He also had the chance to work alongside his own offspring, Zeus and Blink.
'But Storm's legacy goes far beyond his operational success,' BPS said in a social media post.
'To Shawn, his family, and all of us at BPS, he was the perfect partner—loyal, courageous, intelligent, and gentle. Storm was as exceptional at home as he was in the field, bonding deeply with Shawn's family and becoming a cherished companion.'
Brandon police said Storm will be forever missed and thanked the pup for protecting the community.
