March 13th is National K9 Veterans Day, which is celebrated on the birthday of the US Army K9 Corps, which was formed in 1942.
Today we honor K9s Flex and Jocko. Flex joined the AAPD in 2018 before a terminal illness forced an early retirement. He passed away earlier this year alongside his handler, Sgt. Shafer.
K9 Jocko joined the AAPD in 2016 and retired last year. Now he's living the retirement life alongside his handler, retired Officer Gillen.
