Brecksville K-9 officer Sunny retires after nine years on force
Due to his age, a critical member of the Brecksville Police Department has retired from duty.
Sunny, the city’s 10½-year-old Czech Republic born German Shepherd, was sold to Brecksville Sgt. Bill Goodrich for $1 following City Council’s approval at its Aug. 17 meeting.
“He’s still a puppy at heart, but his body is catching up to him,” Goodrich said of his four-legged partner.
Based on his age and the ailments that go along with it, Sunny needed to retire. He has been with the department for nine years and partnered with Goodrich since 2007. The average life of a K-9 officer is eight to 10 years.
Because of Goodrich’s duties as the department school resource officer, Sunny served two duties on the force. He helped with narcotics and other criminal searches as well as searches for missing persons but beyond that, he helped in the classroom as well.

Steffi says: Happy retirement Sunny. You can come down with your Dad and sleep on the couch all day with me.
