With a heavy heart, we share the news of the loss of a dear friend and family member - Retired Police Dog Finn - who served with @sspoldogsection and @sussex_police.
Finn retired in 2021 to his devoted handler Sue, and her equally devoted husband. They both loved him endlessly.
They are devastated at his sudden passing following the tragic diagnosis, this time last week, of an aggressive brain tumour.
Finn, quite simply, was their world and they are completely lost without him - they will never get over him not being there.
Finn had just turned 9.
We too are deeply saddened, we got to know Finn so well, we supported him just a few weeks ago with medical treatments, and our hearts go out to Finnβs family.
Sleep softly dear Finn, safe travels over rainbow bridge - we will never forget you.
Thank you for your service and the joy you brought to so many. Us included.

Happy Birthday to Finn from Surrey and Sussex Police! @SurreyPolice@sussex_police ππ
We recently helped Finn with some veterinary bills after a particularly complex bone infection. We are delighted to say that Finn is now happily recovered and ready to enjoy some Birthday cake!
We hope you have a fabulous celebration filled with treats, fun, and all the good stuff that comes with birthdays!
Sending lots of love

PD Nessa: Storm Darragh did not stop Nessa putting her nose to life saving work last night in Brighton.
Nessa swiftly located a vunerable 77 year old lady suffering with dementia who had been reported missing for over an hour hidden from view in bushes. ππ
Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.
@CotswoldLadyB Itβs because you care and have this personal approach that makes such a difference.
Not all charityβs do this.
Itβs hard on everyone when we have to let these precious babies go, but when the time comes itβs not just about the monies, itβs about the priceless support you give β₯οΈ
@mikesjoyce_mike Only that I have the trophy after winning it last year and thought I would find the engraving. Itβs lovely to actually see a picture of the team that won it all those years ago.
