The Ridgeland Police Department posted this message on Facebook:
It is with a sadden and heavy heart that the Ridgeland Police Department reports the loss of one of our K9 officers this morning. Canon was a widely recognized officer with the Ridgeland Police Department for nearly 9 years where he served with honor, pride and professionalism. Canon displayed the same temperament as expected from human officers with his firmness when it was time to work but showed a loving and compassion side when he knew to keep it low key. Canon was the star of many presentations held in front of kindergarten classes, elementary schools, churches, civic organizations and birthday party celebrations. Officer Ray Daniels was his handler and on most occasions when he met the public the comments would be "Where is your dog Canon?"
Please keep Officer Daniels and his family in your prayers as these K9's are a part of their family. Also the Ridgeland Police Department and our community who will be mourning the loss of Canon.

Been a bad couple of days for animals.
Looks like a good dog. Condolences.
End of watch. RIP He will be missed.
That's a shame. Given the direction ridgeland is headed, they really need their K-9 units. Hopefully he is replaced quickly, or ridgeland will continue it's downward spiral into becoming Jackson jr.
So sad. The loss of a pet (and best friend) is devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with you men and women who were close.
Kingfish-would you post a story on the Jackson police officer's wife who cut off the ears of the puppies and then sold them online? She's claiming she did it "for someone else." It sounds like Jackson Police Departmemt is trying to sweep this under the rug. Please post on it.
First-Mike the Tiger, then this dog...RIP.
Don't forget that MSU lost Bully back in August.
Sad to read about the loss of the K9 officer.
Unrelated to this situation, or to Mike, but as far as "bad days for animals", sadly, every day is a bad day for many. The poor puppy with the bleeding ears is heartbreaking and infuriating, but the future that this litter of puppies and others face is unimaginable hell. We have to see that our animal protection laws are strengthened. KF, please look into the real reason why Farm Bureau lobbies to prevent protection of domestic pets!
A Dog (& some times a cat) care not if you'r rich or poor, fat or thin, black
or white..They....Love U for who you are & are always glad to see you. Thank You for your service !
