The New York Police Department, NYPD, has said its goodbye to a police dog who got diagnosed with cancer in August.

Nearly 20 members of the NYPD gathered outside of Staten Island’s Rosebank Animal Hospital where they paid their last salute to the K-9 detective named Angel before she was scheduled to be euthanized.

The 4 year old dog was named in honor of Detective Rafael Ramos who was shot and killed while sitting in his police car in 2014.

Angel was given few months to live after she was diagnosed with cancer. Her human partner, Officer Manuel Orellana said “She was a trooper, man. She was strong.”

“She’s gonna be missed. She was a good dog.”

Orellana also stated that she lived alone with Angel. “Just me and her,” she explained. “She was my woman.”

Angel was a valuable asset to the NYPD team. In her career, she helped find missing autistic children and tracked down criminals.

“[Angel] found a big-time perpetrator over a two-mile track,” Orellana told New York Daily News.

Lt. Richard Sanossian also opened up about Angel telling the outlet she was “a very good dog” with an “unbelievable nose.”

“This dog is tracking on asphalt in an urban environment, which makes it even harder,” Lt. Richard Sanossian said.

Outside of work, Angel, like most dogs, loved to goof around.

“She’d always get herself into trouble,” Orellana told Daily News. “I have a garden in my backyard. I’ll go out there and she’ll have an eggplant in her mouth or a cucumber.”

Angel not only left behind her partner but her sister Liu Liu, a fellow K-9 Detective named after Detective Wenijan Liu, who was killed with Detective Ramos.

The precinct shared a series of photos from Angel’s final moments on both Twitter and Facebook.

“#NYPD ESU #K9 is sad to announce the passing of a 4-year-old Bloodhound Angel after a brief fight with cancer. Angel seen here with her sister Liu Liu are both named in honor of hero Detectives Ramos & Liu who were tragically shot and killed in December 2014. #RIP,” the NYPD tweeted.

It's more of ability than purity to work as a K9.

I totally agree with you but you can't dispute the unavoidable beauty of that purity.

Yea. He is a good looking dog but you can't be 100% certain he is pure just because of the healthy coat.

no German Shepherd existing now is pure

just tell them the truth there is no 90% pure German Shepherd anywhere

Fabre2:

Why do you make that claim? Do you have any proof?

Fabre2:

there are 100% German Shepherds in Nigeria let alone the whole world.

lie after the war between East Germany and West Germany breeding began to fold up and the purest was around 94% then

Lol you go fear analysis without basis. Just nail this your fact by showing me a picture of the then 100% German shepherd you have seen before the war. I want to go pare them with the ones we have now. Tell .e how those ones look and what's missing in the ones we have now. Pictures will do justice.

You are right to some point but i will say there are no 100% DDR GSD.

Remember when my aunt's bb had cancer and later could'nt surviive it,... even drugs did'nt help <sad>

Do you mean in Nigeria or the whole wide world sir?

You should know better than 150 is figurative now. But I am so sure the purity of that dog can't be below 100%. The coat, shape, posture and what's being used for add up. Not ruling out the part of the world it is located. Ain't saying there are no adulterated breeds over there but that boy I'm looking at has no trace of diffusion in it.

In the world over, in my opinion.
