“Const. Dickson and Zeus were responsible for countless suspect tracks, helping locate missing persons and arrests. Your service will be missed by your co-workers and the community,” the Kingston Police Association said.
In April, Zeus underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in his shoulder, but seemed to have recovered. It’s still unclear what caused Zeus’ death.
