Meanwhile, like a true professional, K9 Bane sat calmly next to his handler and partner of five years. He was still very excited to receive his treat.
“This is the reason I’m doing this at the end of the shift because he’ll blow up the back of my car,” officer Trujillo said at the beginning of the video.
When the delicious treat was ready, K9 Bane was ordered to sit while Detective Trujillo activated his radio, saying “414, show Bane 3-7”.
“Just want to thank you. I’ll miss you. You’ve been a great release dog, and you got to be my friend. Thank you for your service,” said the person over the radio in his final send-off.
As his colleagues were saying goodbye to him, K9 Bane was enjoying his delicious treat, licking it all up.
