The Moorhead Police Department is mourning the loss of their Police K9 Zeke. The Moorhead Police Department announced that  Zeke passed away unexpectedly over the weekend due to an acute medical emergency while at home.

They say On Saturday, December 2, K9 Zeke was at home with his family when he began showing distress. Officer Brett Musich transported Zeke to the emergency veterinary clinic, where he died a short time later.
