Charger, a Fairfax County Police Bloodhound, passed away on June 13 from cancer. He was on his final walk through the woods near his home with his faithful handler by his side.

Charger was born on February 23, 2002 in Pont Rouge, Quebec, Canada. He came to Fairfax County in May of that same year and started his training a month later. Charger’s new police family was primarily responsible for his initial training. The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department and Maryland State Police K9 units, with assistance from The Law Enforcement Bloodhound Association provided additional training, which lasted for almost a year. Charger’s main responsibility was to find people; those who were lost and those who had committed crimes.

Charger and his human partner, Lieutenant Pat Ronan, responded to hundreds of calls for service. One of the most memorable tracks was of a suspected rapist. Charger led Lieutenant Ronan and patrol officers to an apartment where the suspect was located and eventually arrested.

Charger’s favorite toy was a little red ball; shake the ball and a light would glow inside. He loved to chase the little red ball that glowed. His favorite treats were Alpo dog treats; his reward for a job well done. For all of the great things he did, he was still a dog and chewed everything in sight. Somehow, that was ok with Lieutenant Ronan.

Charger was a very special friend, companion and dedicated police K9, he will be missed.

I'm sorry he died. He was quite the hound, and young, too. In general, it sucks that dogs don't live as long as we do. It really sucks!

What happened to his eye? He only lived for six years, must have been those Alpo treats. If you want your dog to live a long life, do not feed them Alpo!!!!
