RIP Marco ❤
The last 24 hours have been the toughest I’ve had as a handler especially working today. Following a short illness Marco was diagnosed with cancer and deteriorated. We were with him at the end, and he passed in my arms at 21:51hrs. Sleep well my special friend Status 11!!(LOSS)

We are very saddened this weekend by the loss of RPD Marco who has passed after a very short retirement from Cumbria Dog Section. Our thoughts are with his handler who kept him as part of the family once his service was done. You did us proud Marco - thank you and rest well.
