I'm sure am glad Loki is up to date on his rabies......video in the link...
ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - Police officers often work in pairs, and for Officer Mike Thompson, his partner Loki knows him pretty well.
“We’re around each other so much that I can tell when he’s going to move, when he’s not going to move,” said Sergeant Thompson.
Loki is an 8-year-old German shepherd and has been with Officer Thompson since 2015.
“His job as a patrol dog is to apprehend fleeing suspects; he is very good at what he does,” said Thompson.
The night of July 23rd, Loki was put to the test when a call came in for a spotting of a man involved in several property crimes.
He had been known to travel across the pedestrian bridge between downtown and Hotel Roanoke, so that’s where Thompson parked. A minute later, Thompson saw the man in question.
“We make eye contact and start talking, and at that point he kept walking away from me, I asked him not to run and then pleaded for him not to run, but he did run,” said Thompson.
