The Florence Dog Unit loses the dog Battman, a German shepherd, who died from an incurable disease.

He served at the Florence Dog Unit as a drug detection dog from 2016 to the beginning of 2024.

Born on 02/02/2015 he was assigned to his handler the following year and together they formed an exceptional pairing. The relationship between dog and handler is an indissoluble bond and when the dog, for reasons of age, stops working for the police, it is usually adopted by the handler himself. This was the intention of Battman's trainer but he couldn't do it.
