K9 Kitt’s Story

On June 4th, 2021, Officer William Cushing and his partner, K9 Kitt, embarked on their final mission together. After ten years of service, Kitt made the ultimate sacrifice, shielding his team during a dangerous confrontation with an armed suspect.

In honor of Kitt’s bravery, Officer Cushing founded the K9 Kitt Foundation in June 2022 to support K9 teams nationwide.

The K9 Kitt Foundation will serve as a facilitator, connecting members of the public interested in providing support to K9 Teams around the country who work tirelessly to serve communities and their front-line policing partners who demonstrate a need for assistance.
