Sebastian Officers Mourn Police Dog - Gunner, 7, Found Unresponsive At Home
The city of Sebastian’s police department is mourning one of its K-9 officers. Officials said in a news release on Friday that Gunner, 7, was found the evening of Aug. 15 unresponsive in his kennel in the home of his handler, Officer Rob Kyzer. The police dog was taken to a veterinary hospital where efforts to revive him failed. His cause of death has not been determined. Kyzer said Gunner's death was an unexpected loss. He had been with the police department since 2003 and served on numerous searches, including a successful tracking of an 8-year-old missing autistic child. Gunner got his name from a Pelican Island Elementary third-grade class that suggested it. Police department administrative staff and officers said that Gunner was an asset, a friend and a partner to the agency and will be dearly missed. The Sebastian Police Department is planning a remembrance ceremony in honor of K-9 Gunner on Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the United Church of Sebastian, 1251 Sebastian Blvd. Submitted by Jim Cortina, Dir.
