Indianapolis Police Dog Timo Dies Of Cancer At Age 12

Last updated on Tuesday, December 4, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - An Indianapolis police dog that had a nose for illicit cash and drugs has died at age 12.

Timo had cancer and was euthanized on Monday. The Dutch shepherd served with Indianapolis police for 10 years, helping his handler find more than $3 million and thousands of pounds of marijuana and other drugs during many investigations.

The police department released a video of Timo getting a final salute from officers. He passed a line of other police dogs as he entered a clinic to be euthanized to end pain and suffering.

A dispatcher on the video says, "We have lost a great partner."
