Here you will find an assortment of photos for K-9 Leon and a video of him on vacation in Showlow, Arizona. Many people don't often get to see the off duty side of a Police Working Dog's daily life. Although his life was cut short, K-9 Leon lived a good life. He had a playful spirit and enjoyed living with Officer Lafontaine's family, becoming as much a part of them as he was a loyal and courageous member of the Mesa Police Department. He is greatly missed by Officer Lafontaine, his family, The Mesa Police Department and by all who knew him.

Home Improvement With K-9 Leon

Officer Lafontaine was building an Arizona room in his house. K-9 Leon wanted to help. While Officer Lafontaine was applying a skim coat of spackling mud to the newly installed sheetrock, K-9 Leon decided he would give the walls a nice "Brushed Look" using his fur coat. Here K-9 Leon proudly shows his handler how he skimmed off the excess spackling compound from the walls.

Watch the video of K-9 Leon on vacation in Showlow, Arizona, as he attempts to get someone to throw a ball in the frigid lake so he can jump in and fetch it. One of K-9 Leon's favorite things to do off duty was to go swimming in Officer Lafontaine's backyard pool.
