It is with a very heavy heart that I share the sad news that Retired Police Dog Divo sadly went peacefully to sleep last night after a short illness.
She was a fantastic, loyal & very brave dog who had a fantastic career serving the public of Derbyshire for many years. She also had a long & happy retirement, going on many holidays where she enjoyed walking numerous mountains, peaks , coastal paths & chasing her ball on many beaches & swimming in the sea.
Thank you for service & thankyou for your companionship.
You will be sadly missed.💔
