In this Feb. 13, 2015, photo Sgt. Robert Burke of the Maine State Police salutes along with other
officers from local communities as Canine Officer Shane Stephenson of the South Portland Police
Department carries Sultan, a retired police dog into the Yarmouth Veterinary Center where he was
euthanized in Yarmouth, Maine. Dozens of officers and firefighters turned out this month to pay their
respects to Sultan, a 13-year-old German shepherd who sniffed out drugs and bad guys with the Yarmouth
Police Department.
