HUNTSVILLE, Ala. ( WAFF ) - The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced the unexpected passing of K-9 Bella on Friday.

Bella died after suffering a medical emergency on Tuesday.

She served the citizens of Alabama for several years and died at the age of 7. She passed away peacefully in the arms of her partner.

Her partner, Sr. Trooper Seahorn, remembers Bella fondly.

“This is, without a doubt, one of the hardest times of my life. Not only was Bella my faithful partner, but she was also mine and my family’s best friend,” Seahorn said. “From family vacations and simple trips to the store to sitting on the sidelines of a school ball game, she was with us every minute of every day. She enjoyed life to the fullest and taught us to do the same.”
