IMPD police dog has inoperable cancer, handler says

Indianapolis Metropolitan police will soon have to say farewell to a good dog.

Officer Ron Santa revealed on his Facebook page Thursday that his canine partner, Bart, has inoperable cancer. The two served together for more than a decade.

In a message posted on Facebook, Santa wrote that he decided not to put Bart through chemo or surgery. He promised that his partner would be "unconditionally spoiled and taken care of" until he passes.

The 13-year-old Belgian Malinois joined IMPD in 2000. Santa has been his only handler.
