“For 10 years, Buddy served the GGC community with unwavering dedication, always ready to greet visitors with his favorite toy and a wagging tail. He was more than just a K9 officer — he was a guardian, a loyal partner and a beloved member of our GGC family,” the college wrote in a statement.
The GGC police department scheduled Buddy’s funeral for Wednesday and invited the public to pay their respects.
