It is with a heavy heart we share the passing of K-9 Doug (retired).
K-9 Doug served as a Manchester Police K-9 from 2016-2023. He was a dual-purpose K-9 - cross trained in Patrol/SWAT and explosives/ballistics detection. Officer Jake Tyler and K-9 Doug were not only a proven team on the street, but also an agency and crowd favorite. As a K-9 team they obtained numerous certifications throughout their career including the United States Police Canine Association, The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, North American Police Working Dog Association, Boston Police K-9 Academy and others.
K-9 Doug was well known for his aquatic abilities (and sometimes mistaken for a shark). Ofc Tyler and Doug participated in annual Swim With A Mission events raising funds and promoting awareness for Veteran Service Oganizations.
We honor K-9 Doug's service to the citizens of Manchester. He was a loyal and faithful partner, a beloved family member and he will be missed by all. Please keep the Tyler family in your thoughts and prayers. Rest Easy Good Boy. K-9 Doug - EOW 10/12/2025.
Oh my gosh my heart. Doug thank you for your service. Jake thank you for sharing him with the world and giving him the life you did. You're both amazing. RIP Doug 😭
