Former Police Dog Barks at Tree Then Uncovers Something Unsettling

Kyle, the retired police dog, was taken on a walk like he was everyday when something strange happened. The dog started barking at a tree, and his owners knew that something was wrong when he started to dig, too.

And strangest of all, Kyle wouldn’t budge an inch from his spot, no matter how insistently his owners tugged on his leash. So his owners decided to investigate and what they found was anything but ordinary.

They called in assistance immediately, but they were worried that it was already too late for a team of professionals to do anything about the situation. Smith’s heart raced as he picked up the phone and called the only person he could think to contact: Kyle’s former owner.

This Police Dog Was Ready to Retire

Kyle was a retired police dog who had worked hard his entire life. After living with two foster families during his service with the police force, he was ready to settle into his retirement years of doggie bliss. When he was adopted by his new owners, the Smith family, his new life seemed perfect.

His New Parents Had Lots of Care in Their Hearts

Thomas Smith was happy to become a father to the dog. He and his wife didn’t have any children of their own, so they had plenty of time to make sure that Kyle’s days were full of lots of exercise, nutritious food and plenty of cuddles.

But after they got the dog home, he started to exhibit some odd behaviors. 

Kyle Had Worked For Eight Years

Kyle was a well-mannered dog who knew how to follow orders. He had a plethora of skills under his belt and he loved to play, too. After eight years serving with a police troop, he was ready to wind down and spend more time sleeping in.

But, it was obvious that this dog still missed his friends from the police force.

He Missed His Old Partner

During his time on the police force, Kyle was owned by his partner, John. John was a young police officer who had a strong bond to the German Shepherd. John had known Kyle from the first day he started working for the police force and he had been by his side every day for eight years.

But he had to give up his dog so they could both have better lives.
