K-9 Hobbs and his partner, Sgt. Jason Robinson answered more than 500 calls and found 113 pieces of evidence while serving at the Edmonds Police Department, 17 miles north of Seattle.
“Hobbs has been an asset to law enforcement in Snohomish and North King Counties, fearlessly pursuing suspects who fled into the community,” Edmonds PD said in a news release.
Hobbs and his partner, then-Officer Robinson, met in 2013 when the K-9 came to the police department from Germany.
During his tenure, Hobbs was described as “fearless” and an “asset” by the Edmonds Police Department.

One of Hobbs’ most memorable moments on the force came in 2017, when he shot and killed two robbery suspects after an hour-long manhunt in the pouring rain, according to the department.
From now on, the former K-9 will be on the side of his partner. Hobbs lives with Sgt. Robinson and his family during their retirement.
“He’s taken care of me for years and now it’s my turn to take care of him because he’s just becoming a dog.” Sergeant. – said Robinson.
