Quantum earned a bravery award after being stabbed by a machete-wielding suspect
Ms Ellse, of Nottinghamshire Police, said Quantum had been an amazing colleague.
"He's really everything you would want from a police dog - dependable, loyal, reliable and absolutely fearless.""He has never let me down and I really couldn't have asked for a better wingman over the years."He recently suffered a shoulder injury after tracking a suspect over a considerable distance and went a bit lame."
"This was a dangerous and violent criminal who had already knocked a female officer unconscious," said Ellse."The suspect armed himself with a plank of wood and hit Quantum around the head, which did phase him for a second, but he still managed to grab hold of him and detain him."Thanks to the incredible bravery Quantum showed that day he soon realised he'd made a mistake.
