Bedford Heights Police announced that K-9 Bosco went home on Aug. 3 with his now former handler, Ofc. Ryan Kaetzel, despite the department’s decision to place him with the city’s new K-9 officer a week prior.
“They are forcing me to turn in my canine today at 6:30 a.m. There is major concerns that a 7-year-old dog, who’s already starting to slow down showing signs of his hip dysplasia, can be retrained with a new handler and a six week school with all 1- and 2-year-old dogs,” Kaetzel previously told 19 News.An online fundraiser has racked up thousands in donations, and a police dog breeder has offered to give Bedford Heights police a trained K-9.
“I wanted to set the record straight in response to all of the false rumors and outright lies being spread regarding our K-9 Bosco and our former handler Officer Kaetzel. Two days later, on July 19, Officer Kaetzel filed a lawsuit requesting additional compensation for the care of Bosco. The only expectation of the officer while caring for the dog at home is for him to do the same types of things that you and I would do for our dogs — feed them and let them out in a fenced-in yard, or otherwise take them for a walk to do their business. Therefore, Officer Kaetzel enjoyed the benefits of a loving and obedient dog without any of the usual expenses associated with that dog.
