Greensburg K9 passes away after medical emergency

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – The Greensburg Police Department is mourning the loss of K9 Dino, who passed away from an unexpected medical emergency. 

Dino began his law enforcement career with the Jennings County Sheriff’s Office in September 2022. 

“Whether tracking suspects, detecting narcotics, or standing alert during high-risk operations, Dino performed every task with unmatched dedication,” officers said.

Dino and his trusted handler, Officer John Amis, completed a lateral transfer to the Greensburg Police Department on Monday, the same day as Dino’s passing. 

“To Officer Amis, Dino was more than a K9 partner—he was family. Their bond was forged through countless hours of training, deployments, and shared experiences. Dino loved his job with passion, but he loved his handler even more. Wherever Amis went, Dino was right there beside him, eyes focused, ready for the next command,”  the police department said.
