My colleague Rasheed Oluwa covered the memorial service Monday for New Paltz police dog Zeus, who was killed July 31 when vehicles driven by his partner Officer Robert Knoth and Officer Joseph Judge collided.
They were responding to a residential burglary alarm.
Read Oluwa's story here.
Zeus, 7, was a German shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix from the Czech Republic.
"He was basically an 85-pound lapdog when he was with me," Knoth, Zeus' handler, said Monday. "He was the best partner you could ask for. He was always happy to come to work. He had no fear. He was always the first one to walk through the door."Photo by Jen Kiaba/For the Poughkeepsie Journal

I know it's little comfort, but Zeus is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
