Lisbon, Iowa – A police K9 who disappeared from his handler’s home on Monday night was found dead in a pond the next day. According to sources, the German shepherd, Monster, was found submerged in a partially ice-covered pond on Tuesday morning.
Monster was a working K9 with the Mt. Vernon-Lisbon Police Department. In a statement, Mt. Vernon-Lisbon Police Chief Douglas Shannon said:
“K9 Officer Monster has served on our department for the past 7 years and has made an impact on every officer, staff members, and the entire community. K9 Monster was a tremendous asset to our department and the community he served.”
Adding:
“He really touched every one he came in contact with, and it’s made for some heavy hearts in our department today.”
Rest easy Monster.

What a tragedy — my heart breaks for sweet Monster — I expect MORE love and care from Police when placed in charge of Family members — in this case Dog MONSTER.
