The #NorthAdams Police Department is mourning the passing of retired K-9 Chuck.
Chuck served the city from 2013 to 2018 and was retired when his handler, Al Zoito, took a promotion to sergeant.
Chuck was often seen at the city schools and city events.
He lived with Zoito’s family until his passing on Saturday.
The dog who was stabbed by someone who went onto the owner’s property in #Cohoes has died from his injuries.
Kevin and Christine Carmel were on vacation out of town and their dog was under the car of a sitter. Their dog Blake, a labradane, was stabbed by a person that went onto their property last Thursday.
They said Blake was outside when someone went onto their property and stabbed him in reaction to him barking. That person ran off and the suspect has not been found.
Kevin is a firefighter and Christine works for Albany County 911 dispatcher. A GoFundMe page that had been set up to pay for his medical bills posted over the weekend that Blake had succumbed to his injuries at around 3:45 a.m. on Saturday. The veterinarians told the family that there was nothing more they could do.
“Our hearts are completely shattered as we look to a future without him and knowing our daughter will not get to grow up with him by her side,” the statement said.
“We once again would like to thank everyone who had been praying for our gentle giant as well as those who have shared and donated to help us with the financial burden to give him the best possible outcome. From the bottom of our hearts we will forever be touched by the generosity shown to try to save our baby,” the statement went on to say.
The GoFundMe had raised over $19,000 toward a $20,000 goal as of late Monday morning.

The Sheriff`s Office stopped a vehicle on Interstate 87 in #SaratogaSprings on Friday around 4:53 p.m. for an unsafe lane change, when the vehicle fled the scene northbound on the interstate, later taking exit 14.

Guity is accused of traveling westbound in the eastbound Route 9P lane while driving 75 mph in a 30 mph zone, said saratogasheriff.
After a brief foot pursuit, Guity was taken into custody and charged with the following:
-First-degree reckless endangerment (class D felony)
-Seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance
-Resisting arrest, unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle
-Reckless driving, moving from lane unsafely, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle
Police say Guity was arraigned in Saratoga Springs City Court and remanded to the Saratoga County Jail.
