The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Has Lost An Officer

It wasn’t human, however.

Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Koda has died in an unfortunate sequence of events, the agency reported Wednesday.

The 2-year-old dog, a Belgian Malinois, died earlier this week while Koda and his handler were off-duty, visiting out of the area, said sheriff’s Capt. Tim Edwards, who announced the news “with great sadness” in a press release.

While his handler was away, Koda forced his way out of the kennel and consumed a large amount of dog food being stored in the car, Edwards said.

Koda then proceeded to eat the seats of the car, ingesting foam from the car seats, Edwards said.
