A sad day for Guelph Police as one of their furry officers has passed away.
The K9 named ‘Magnum’ was an active officer with Guelph Police for over seven years, and responsible for capturing 184 suspects with his partner– Constable McMichan.
Constable McMichan says Magnum retired back in 2011, and spent the rest of his days living with her and her family.
“I have lost my best friend and partner. Magnum and I have been attached at the hip for 12 1/2 years. Losing him has left an empty void in my life. I am so lucky to have had been partnered with Magnum. He has left me with a lifetime of memories and amazing stories,” said McMichan in a release.
Magnum is also remembered for once being named the service’s ‘Member of the Year’, and receiving numerous awards at K9 competitions.
Constable McMichan and the Guelph Police Service are also thanking all the local business sponsors and Wellington Chrysler Jeep Dodge for donating the money to purchase Magnum back in 2004, to Royal Canin for providing Magnum’s food throughout his career and retirement, and to the Guelph Animal Hospital who looked after all Magnum’s medical needs.
