After a decade of service with the Malta Police Force’s K9 Unit, Rex, a Belgian Shepherd, has retired and will now serve as a therapy dog at Kulleġġ San Nikola in Wardija.
Rex, born in 2012, was brought to Malta from Belgium in 2014 to work as a drug detection dog. For the past ten years, he has been a key asset in law enforcement operations, working alongside Inspector Christopher Formosa.
Following his retirement, Rex has been placed at Kulleġġ San Nikola, where he will provide companionship and support to students as the school’s pet. The initiative aims to offer therapeutic benefits to the students while ensuring the former police dog enjoys a well-deserved retirement in a caring environment.
The Malta Police Force thanked Rex for his years of dedication, noting that his new role would allow him to continue making a positive impact.
