Seekonk Police K-9 Mattis has officially retired
SEEKONK, Mass. (WPRI) — After nearly a decade, K-9 Mattis with the Seekonk Police Department has officially retired.
The German Shepherd recieved his final call over the weekend after serving alongside Sgt. Adam Laprade for the last nine years.
The pair also competed on the A&E competition “America’s Top Dog” in 2021.
On his last day of duty, Mattis even helped make a drug stop.
“A warrior on the streets and a teddy bear to behold,” the department wrote on Facebook. “We appreciate all the work he has put in over his tenure and we wish him the best treats and snuggles in retirement.”
Mattis will now get to live out his days at home with Sgt. Laprade.
