NORTH HAVEN, Conn. — The first K-9 officer to join the North Haven Police Department died Saturday.
Police wrote on Facebook that Zeus, an 8-year-old K-9, had a cancerous stomach tumor that was recently detected. The tumor ruptured and he suffered internal bleeding.
During his six years of service, Zeus completed several successful searches and detainments of fleeing suspects.
The department wrote that “Zeus’s passing is a great loss to the North Haven Police Department, as well as the community.”
