Tributes have been paid to a general-purpose police dog who sadly passed away whilst en-route to the COP26 summit. 

PD ‘Rika’ was based with Devon & Cornwall police and, as a general-purpose police dog, was trained to find high-risk missing people, find suspects and evidence, protect her handler and other police officers as well as members of the public. 

In a tweet, PD Rika’s handler said:

‘Today [29th October] is a horrendously sad day. 

‘Whilst on the way to assist at COP26, PD Rika fell ill and sadly passed away at the vet’s this morning. 

‘My heart is broken. Sleep well Chicken.’

One officer tweeted: ‘Heartbreaking. Rest east Rika. Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace lovely. Thoughts to your family and colleagues.’

Another Twitter user said: ‘So sorry for your loss. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers Fly high Rika and thank you so much for all you did to keep us safe’.

A former police officer tweeted: ‘Oh my goodness, To lose any dog is hard but to lose a police dog is something else. 

‘He is your friend and your protector. Take care and heaven has gained a very special angel’.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
