ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) – Sad news to report today as the St.Petersburg Police Department says one of their police K9’s has passed away due to a brain tumor.

K9 Nero had been apart of the department since May 2014.

In a Facebook post, the St. Petersburg Police Department called Nero “A dedicated and faithful servant of the police department and the City since May 2014.”

Thank you for your service Nero.
