Lynnwood Police dog “Tanner” passed away recently after a good life of tracking bad guys and recovering evidence. He was 7 1/2 years-old.
Tanner spent his last years, after he retired in March 2005, living with his handler, Lynnwood Police Officer Cole Langdon and his wife Kim.
“Tanner had 95 captures and put a lot of bad guys in jail,” said Langdon.” He was a great partner – my first love in law enforcement.”
Tanner was forced to retire in 2005 after he sustained a serious in-the-line-of-duty leg injury.
After his retirement he continued to live with Langdon and his wife. The quality of Tanner’s life was very good up until recently.
“He was part of our family and it’s a tough loss,” Langdon said.
