Aging Military Dog Given Guard Of Honor Sendoff

A retired bomb sniffer dog was given an emotional goodbye by veterinary staff and K-9 unit as they formed a guard of honor for him. Robson the German Shepherd’s service included supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn, as well as special assignments protecting the President in Europe. Robbie and his K-9 handler David Simpson were both medically retired from the Air Force in 2014 after seven years working together, and was adopted by David and his family in Florida. But after David died in 2017, Robbie’s age began to catch up with him rapidly. When the time came, devoted staff at All Creatures Animal Clinic in Lakeland, Florida, helped organize an emotional guard of honor befitting of his military service. With the Lakeland Police Department K-9 Unit in attendance, and veterinary staff forming a guard of honor, Robbie made one final walk off.
