BC RCMP members are mourning the sudden and unexpected loss of police dog Fury.
鈥淚t is with sadness that we confirm the sudden loss of Police Service Dog 鈥楩ury鈥� who passed away following emergency surgery,鈥� wrote the BC RCMP. 鈥淭he surgery was not the result of an on duty injury, but of an unforeseen condition.鈥�
Const. Leo Rojas and his police service dog 鈥楩ury鈥� became policing partners in 2014.
The pair worked together in Prince George before transferring down to the Lower Mainland where they joined the Integrated Police Dog Service.
Fury was a general duty dog that specialized in explosive detection.
The RCMP says Fury assisted in many high profile events including the visit of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Damdardas Modi, in 2015, the Canada Winter Games, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge鈥檚 Royal Visit of 2016 and the United Nations Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial Conference, that occurred just last week in Vancouver.
鈥淓ven till the end, Fury was dedicated and a passionate worker and an important partner to Const. Rojas,鈥� writes the RCMP.
鈥淥ur thoughts are with Const. Rojas, and we mourn the unexpected loss of 鈥楩ury鈥� with him.鈥�
