Meet K9 Killer. We’re not joking, this is the name of the adorable pooch that won the animal equivalent of the George Cross and he is truly amazing. Along with the PDSA (who awarded K9 Killer the gold medal) Ricky Gervais and Prince Harry headed over to South Africa to meet the amazing dog who helps stop poachers in their tracks.
In his four years of service, K9 Killer has helped lead police to arrest 115 poachers, making him a very special canine indeed.
Speaking about the five-year-old Belgian Malinois, Ricky said: “Killer does fantastic work in the Kruger National Park.
“Rhino’s are wonderful creatures that are being killed in their hundreds by these poachers. Killer and his colleagues are fighting back. He helped capture dozens of poachers in the last year alone, thanks to his amazing courage and dedication. He’s making a huge contribution to rhino protection in South Africa.”
We salute you, K9 Killer. And your really scary name!
