Retired K9 Ace Gets Well-Earned Shine | Tampa News

Retired K9 Ace, the hero who took a bullet for three deputies and lost his front leg, is finally getting the spotlight he deserves—complete with steak, toys, and a standing ovation at city hall. His handler, Deputy Natalie Oestreich, says he’s thriving in retirement, still ready to work when she’s in uniform.
