OMAHA, Nebraska - The Omaha Police Department released a very sad message on Twitter Monday. It states:
"About a month ago the vet found a lump near the abdomen of #OPD Bomb K9 Duk. Over the last couple weeks it was clear he was not right and late last week a biopsy confirmed what we feared....cancer. Unfortunately it is untreatable. For the last 4 years Duk has kept all safe. Duk has worked the airport to keep travelers coming and going safe. He has helped in #OPD security at the #CWS, #swimtrials, and NCAA Basketball and Volleyball, plus countless concerts to name a few. He's also helped @OPDVanessa at several of here events. He will be missed."
6 News reports the cancer cannot be treated.
