Summary
A beloved Fresno County K-9 officer, Santi, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois, died after being struck by a vehicle during a chaotic escape triggered by illegal fireworks. Let out briefly to relieve himself, Santi bolted over a fence and vanished into the night, chased by booming explosions. Despite frantic efforts by his handler, the dog was hit and left for dead. Santi, who served four years chasing bad guys and loving belly rubs, didn’t survive. Authorities are investigating the hit-and-run and urge witnesses to come forward. His legacy as a loyal, tunnel-digging hero lives on.
