Pittsburgh Police Department's eight-year-old German Shepherd, Rocco was wounded Tuesday night while assisting officers during the arrest of an armed suspect. After undergoing two surgeries and several blood transfusions, Rocco made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
A member of the force since 2008, Rocco saved his handler and two other officers on the scene. He was laid to rest with honors last night.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rocco's team and the Pittsburgh Police Department.
