Allegheny County Sheriff's Office Mourns Beloved K-9

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office is mourning one of their police K-9s.

According to the department, K-9 Banditt died unexpectedly on Thursday morning.

The police dog was a German Shepherd that was originally from the Czech Republic.

He replaced the county's first bomb-sniffing dog when that dog retired in 2012.

Banditt had been working for the county since he was just 13-months-old.
