Memorial for King Luther



Today the state held a ceremony honoring our first police K9 to die in the line of duty. The flag, suspended between two ladder trucks flies above the Vermont Police K9 Hall of Fame.

King Luther had reason to believe his handler was in danger, then gave his life to protect his partner.

Sadly, we are familiar with the unexpected loss of a devoted partner. We understand the labor of love and pride that goes along with being family of a working dog. Our hearts go out to the Post family during this difficult transition. King Luther will always be with Officer Post. He taught Officer Post to be a good handler. When Officer Post begins training with a new partner, King Luther's influence will be there to ensure his handler and community are safe.
