Ewing Police officers mourn loss of police dog; handler begins training replacement
EWING — Township police are mourning the loss of 9-year-old German shepherd Max, who had to be euthanized Jan. 9 after seven years of service to the department.
The German shepherd had sniffed his way through a 60-foot tunnel to reach the person trapped inside. He barked furiously to signal his human handlers — and a coiled robot snake dropped from his belly to the ground next to the victim.
Parents concerned about whether their children are using narcotics, businesses wanting to enforce a drug-free workplace and schools trying to keep drugs out of their parking lots and classrooms now have a new place to turn for help.
