Waco with Senior Constable Rob Stephenson, from the Moreton Dog Squad, in Kingaroy last year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 3, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students who attended the 2016 South Burnett Careers Market in Kingaroy will be sad to learn that one of the stars from the day has died.<\/p>\n

Police dog Waco was a popular attraction at the Careers Market held at the TAFE South West campus in July.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the police confirmed that Waco died early on Friday after suffering heat stress while on duty on Thursday.<\/p>\n

About 1:30pm, Waco and his handler were tracking an offender in the Deception Bay area who had fled on foot from a stolen car.<\/p>\n

Around 2:00pm, Waco\u2019s handler observed him becoming unsteady on his feet and recognised signs of heat stress.<\/p>\n

Waco was immediately provided with water and taken to a nearby veterinary surgery.<\/p>\n

Despite attempts to lower his body temperature and replace his fluids, Waco died just before 5:00am on Friday.<\/p>\n

A police spokesman said Waco\u2019s handler was very experienced and was devastated at the death of his dog.<\/p>\n

“The QPS takes the health and wellbeing of all police dogs very seriously and sees them as valued members of the police family,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
