Axe, who served as a K9 canine for the Central Falls Police Department for 5 years, has retired. Despite no longer protecting the residents of Central Falls, he remained a beloved dog throughout the department. His passing was met with great sadness.
The dog retired from his job with the police department at the usual retirement age for K9 cops after impressing his colleagues with his exceptional work ethic. According to a post on Buddies of Central Falls Animals, he worked tirelessly to keep the streets safe and always ensured the safety of his fellow police personnel, no matter how difficult the situation. He was willing to risk his own life to save his partner, Officer Decristoforo, without hesitation.
Officer Decristoforo’s first K9 dog was named Axel. After a few years, Axel was sent to another city with a brand new affiliate. Some people were concerned about whether or not he would be happy traveling to a new city with a new partner, but Axel and the officer instantly took to each other. When Axel passed away, Officer Decristoforo felt like he had lost his other half and was saddened by it. The note added that they were truly blessed to have had each other in their lifestyles and that Axel will continue to look over him.
The Facebook post also contained a message for Officer Decristoforo, saying, “Axel favored you more than he favored himself!” This is the kind of dog he used to be. He used to be all yours! He would have gone to any length for you. He would like you to assist him right now! Maintain your cool and keep in mind that he no longer wants to see you miserable! The piece concluded by thanking this dog for his excellent artwork, saying, “Axel, I want to thank you for watching over us as you have!” It has been an honor and a delight to get to know you and work with you. You are welcome to be my.
