The memorial "Faithful Partner," recently unveiled at the University of California, Davis, honors the service and sacrifice of California police dogs.
The memorial is a life-size bronze sculpture of a German shepherd K-9 officer that contains room for plaques dedicated to police K-9s who have given their lives for their handlers and the communities they served. The memorial currently contains plaques honoring 23 dogs who gave their lives between 1976 and April 2002.
