The Grand Chute police department is mourning the death of its newest K-9.
Officer Travis Waas says Eragon died on Tuesday.
He says the dog contracted pneumonia after having surgery to remove something he swallowed.
Waas says the surgery was successful but the dog died of pneumonia.
Eragon was a three-year-old German Shepard and had been on the job since May.
K-9 Fram was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and was set to retire next month but Waas says the dog’s handler feels he’s doing well and can continue to work.
