After eight years of service, it had come time for K-9 Faust to hang up his badge. As he got into the vehicle with his partner, Senior Special Agent Bryan Schaffer, it was business as usual for the last day of work. But the dog was about to retire after an emotional send-off.
The certified Explosives Detection and Patrol police duo had been through it all together, but now it was time for a happy ending. As officer Schaffer radioed in to make the final call to honor Faust, the dog reacted as if he knew exactly what was going on. With a whimper and a kiss, the K9 snuggled his partner one last time on the job.
But the two will not be apart as Faust is now part of the Schaffer family! Bryan took to Facebook to write a thank you to his former work buddy: “Faust, thank you for all the good you have done for BNSF and other agencies – but mostly I thank you for getting us both home safe after every shift.” What a bittersweet moment. 🙂
