What a fantastic dog. R.I.P my little hero!

This is an incredible story and amazing that he worked so long…!
In truth many dogs love to work and keeps them going and active.
Most days these dogs spend socializing, playing ball, doing practice drills so getting mild exercise. In retirement they would spend most of the day at home and so to be able to serve 16 years especially as a German Shepherd whose average life span is 13 years tells me he was given regular exercise and love. ❤️

Today marks a poignant moment iп Texas as Rex, the final [su.rviv.ing] K9 hero from the [ha.rr.ow.ing] Jυly 4 [fl.o.od] rescue mission, was peacefully laid to rest. Serving loyally with the Texas police force for over 16 years.

Rex became more than a working dog — he was a symbol of bravery, hope, and resilience. His incredible courage in [fl.ood.wate.rs] and [di.sa.st.er] zones saved countless lives, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire generations.
