Tributes have been paid to one of Wiltshire Polices’ serving police dogs who sadly died at the weekend following a lengthy illness.

Police Dog ‘Chiko’, a seven-year-old German Shepherd, joined Wiltshire Police in January 2015 as a general purpose police dog.

However, over the past few years, Chiko had suffered from bowel conditions and last summer was diagnosed with a chronic progressive inflammatory disease.

Thanks to specialist medical support and careful handling, he was able to continue doing the police work he loved, and there was a plan in place for him to retire this June.

Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated rapidly, and he sadly died at the weekend.

His handler, PC Sam Dutton (pictured with PD Chiko), paid tribute to his service and his love of police work.

She said: 

“PD Chiko was a huge part of the police family and our own family.

“He had some health issues which Wiltshire Police fully supported him in and gave him the best possible chance of recovery. 

“But, unfortunately, he was no longer responding to medication.

“Chiko was a dog who loved to work. He went peacefully, with his handler and partner by his side. 

“He will leave a huge gap in our lives but will never be forgotten. I would like everyone to celebrate his life and thank him for his service.”

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

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.
