K-9 Hero Spike’s Retirement Battle | Oklahoma City News

A four-legged hero turned retiree, K-9 Spike, is fighting for his life after seven years of heroic service with the McClain County Sheriff’s Office. Once a top drug-sniffing canine who helped seize over a ton of drugs and even nabbed 400 pounds of marijuana in his final stop, Spike now battles an enlarged heart, lung fluid, and a nasal tumor — all off-duty. With no medical coverage from the department, his handler Deputy Shane McCraw and family are footing the bill, raising funds to keep him comfortable while awaiting biopsy results. Any extra donations will go toward helping another retired K-9 in need — honoring the silent sacrifices of these loyal guardians long after their badges are retired.
