NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WPRI) — The New Bedford Police Department said that one of their retired K-9’s, Thor, has died.
According to a post on social media, the department said Thor served the department from 2015 to 2021 as an Explosive Ordinance Detection dog, certified through both the ATF and the Boston Police Department.
“Thor was much more than his incredible skill set. He was a loyal partner, a beloved member of our NBPD family, and a familiar, friendly face in our community,” the post added.
They said that Thor assisted helping find firearms, explosives and other evidence during his time with the police force.
“Our deepest sympathies go out to his former handler, Sgt. Trevor Sylvia, and the Sylvia family, who gave Thor love, comfort, and companionship long after his retirement from service.”
