During his career in Fredericton, Brutus was involved in two major shooting cases where firearms where discharged and individuals were shot. Brutus recovered the loaded firearm and firearm related evidence leading to a safe and successful ending to these files. In one instance he recovered a bullet that had gone down into the ground.
Brutus was born in Innisfail, Alberta at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police kennels and worked his entire career with the Fredericton Police Force. His central location meant that Brutus was often called in to assist the Woodstock City Police, the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada Border Services Agency, and the RCMP.
During one of his final police operations, Brutus completed a nearly 6km track, apprehended the suspect and located 10 pieces of evidence too. All in a day’s work for a hero with paws.
In his off time, Brutus loves to ham it up by walking on his hind legs, human style. His fondness for acting also appears when he’s asked to do something he doesn’t like by baring his teeth in mock outrage. But in reality Brutus the “big mean police dog” is really a soft touch and insists on starting each day with a family cuddle.
