A Goodbye to Spring

From Gilbert Fire and Rescue:

"Saying goodbye is never easy.

With heavy hearts, we share that Spring, Arizona’s first ATF Accelerant Detection Canine, crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 15.

For seven remarkable years, she worked alongside now-retired Fire Investigator David Zehring, helping solve hundreds of arson cases. After years of dedicated service, Spring retired to a life filled with treats, belly rubs and love from those who cherished her.

Surrounded by family and escorted with honor on her final journey, Spring’s courage, dedication and heart will never be forgotten.

Thank you, Spring, for your unwavering service and companionship. You will forever hold a special place in the history and hearts of Gilbert Fire and Rescue."
