Rest in Peace, K-9 Abby, Job Well Done

"Clear Lake Police Department K-9 "Abby" died Monday after a short battle with cancer.

Clear Lake Police Officers are mourning the loss of their police dog Abby.

She spent two years working in Clear Lake.  The k-9 helped officers with several drug busts and tracked some missing people.

After a short battle with cancer Abby died on Monday.

Police Chief Greg Peterson says unlike typical police dogs, she was very good around people, especially children.

“I think it will leave a hole in the community, I think the amazing thing over the last two years that I saw, just how so many people in the community loved her,” Peterson said.

Peterson says the department will hold a memorial service for Abby late next week.

He says the department will work on getting a new police dog next spring.  He says they will need help from the public.  He says now that they have all of the equipment it will cost about $7,000 dollars to purchase and train a new K-9.
