Kaiser the police dog receives salute on final journey

[Major Nikon]

Kaiser, a 2-year-old German Shepherd who had severe kidney disease, made his final journey to the Court Street Animal Hospital in Plymouth, Mass., on Friday.

Officers lined up to salute the brave K-9. Afterwards, he was buried at the Angel View Pet Cemetery in Middleboro, Mass., according to CBS Boston.

"RIP my boy. I could not have asked for a better partner or friend. May you rest easy and wait for me at that sacred bridge," the dog's main handler, Officer Jamie Lebretton, wrote in a Facebook post on the Plymouth Police Working Dog Foundation's page.

Kaiser was donated to the department by a local family in 2011, and was only 5 months old at the time.

1. That breaks my heart, seeing him like that.

I honor his service, and wish that he could have been free of disease...

2. He doesn't look well on that photo.

Well done, Kaiser. RIP, brave dog.

I'm wrestling with problems with my best doggy friend ever, so these threads resonate with me.
