REEDSPORT, Ore. — The Reedsport Police Department stated 
Officer K9 Penny is "nearing the end of her storybook career" 
and her last shift will be April 16th.

During her five-year career in Reedsport, she’s been responsible
for the seizure of $56,000 dollars, 6 vehicles, 34 firearms, over
34 pounds of methamphetamine, 2 1/2 pounds of heroin, 5
pounds of fentanyl, and 3 ounces of cocaine.

The highlight of Penny’s career was a targeted stop in Coos
County, which resulted in a 13lb seizure of methamphetamine.

Faith (December 22, 2002 – September 22, 2014) was a bipedal
dog, born with three legs; two fully developed hind legs and a
deformed front leg, which was amputated when she was seven
months old.

Many people, including veterinarians, advised that Faith be
euthanized. Instead, using a spoon with peanut butter as an
incentive, Jude taught Faith to hop. Faith began to walk on
her own.                        

Faith was given a non-commission rank of E5 Sgt. at Ft. Lewis, Washington in June 2006. She visited more than 2,300 wounded
warriors in hospitals and wards throughout the world, and was
seen by more than 2,000,000 active soldiers at bases, airports,
and ceremonies.

She wore an Army Combat Uniform jacket and would get excited
when it was pulled out of the closet, as she knew it meant she
was about to meet some soldiers.

(KOMO NEWS) – The Seattle Aquarium is grieving the loss of
Barney, a cherished 39-year-old harbor seal who passed away 
today.

Barney, who was the equivalent of a 100-year-old human, was
one of the oldest known harbor seals in human care.

Dr. Caitlin Hadfield, Director of Animal Health, and the veterinary
and animal care teams had been closely monitoring Barney’s
health for years, ensuring his comfort and happiness.

Despite developing age-related health issues, Barney had been
doing well until a recent acute decline prompted the difficult
decision to humanely euthanize him.
