The Terre Haute Police Department reports that K-9 Shadow, 10, was put to rest at a local veterinarian's office yesterday.

"Shadow will alway be remembered for his bravery and dedicated service." Chief John Plasse said.

Plasse explained that K9 Shadow, in 2011, suffered a gunshot wound to the face and had undergone multiple major surgeries since the shooting. His health continued to deteriorate with time, as Shadow also suffered from seizures, as well as other medical complications, Plasse said. 

Shadow's handler, Officer Brent Long, was killed in the 2011 shooting incident, while serving a warrant.
