🐾 CASE CLOSED: The Puppy Heist 🕵️♂️
Someone tried to sneak a shepherd puppy out of Petland McKinney today… but they picked the wrong town.
McKinney PD got on the case fast:
🔎 Tracked the suspect
🚓 Made the arrest
🐶 Recovered the puppy — safe, sound, and tail wagging
Thanks to some paws-itively sharp detective work, this little pup is back where it belongs.
Nice try. But not on our watch.

K9 Officer Henk made his final journey home.
Escorted by a law enforcement procession from Gainesville to Barrett Funeral Home in Cleveland, GA, Henk was honored as the hero he was — a loyal partner who served the Helen Police Department with heart, courage, and a tail that never stopped wagging. 💙🐾
In his photo, his tongue is out — and if you’ve seen it, you know. Henk was adorable. But don’t let the sweet face fool you. He was all business: sharp, steady, and absolutely dedicated to his partner.
That partner was Sergeant Ray Rutledge — one of the best K9 handlers around. Their bond was the kind built over time. Quiet. Unshakable. Forged call after call, shift after shift.
Today, that bond was honored — by the law enforcement family and the community who knew just how special this dog truly was.
You were a good boy, Henk. The best.
Funeral service details will be shared soon.
🖤💙🐾

You hold the line every time others hesitate.
