K9 Tusco: From Rookie Police Dog to Honored Retirement

Описание: When you picture the perfect police dog, you think of intelligence, courage, drive, discipline, and loyalty. K9 Tusco had all of that and more.

Tusco began his career with the Ticonderoga Police Department in 2015, after being brought from the Netherlands. Selected out of 15 dogs, he quickly proved himself as a top K9. Paired with Sgt. Dale Cannell, the two formed a strong bond through training, drug detection, and suspect tracking.

In 2018, Tusco and Dale transferred to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, where their teamwork continued to serve the community. Tusco became a trusted partner and a familiar name on calls and in training.

After years of loyal service, Tusco now heads into a well-earned retirement. His legacy continues with K9 Maggie, who trained alongside him and will carry on his work.

Join us in thanking K9 Tusco for his dedication and celebrating his career of service.

Video created, produced and narrated by Lt. Todd Lemery.

* It is with great sadness we report that K9 Tusko came to his end of watch on November 22, 2022. He was a good boy and an amazing dog.*
