SD Mando is a 5-year-old German Shepherd Hero from the Vancouver Police Department, where he served since 2021. Mando is a fun loving, extremely energetic pooch, with a strong willingness to work and people please. With only 4 years of service Mando has had an intense career with several captures and arrests within the City of Vancouver.
On one call for service Mando engaged with a violent drug enforcer who had just assaulted his girlfriend. During the arrest the suspect bit Mando’s ear and penetrated it leaving a hole. The wound did not deter Mando, who stayed in the fight until the suspect was placed into custody.
On PSD Mando’s last shift he located a suspect who seriously assaulted an officer. The suspect had fled the scene and attempted to evade the police on a patio. Mando tracked the suspect and engaged him. A brief struggle ensued, and the suspect attempted to fight Mando. Mando undeterred again, assisted with placing another violent suspect into custody.
At 5 years old, and 4 years of service with the Vancouver Police Department Mando has more than earned his retirement. He will be taking it easy as he has mild bilateral hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis.
