						Obituary
						
						
						k9 
						Nero was born on April 20, 2007. 
						
						
						
						He was certified in explosive detection and was 
						partnered with Police Officer Brett Porigow from the 
						Port Authority of NY & NJ.  
						K9 Nero, 
						Shield #59, served the Port Authority Police Department 
						from April 2008, through May of 2018, as an explosive 
						detection canine protecting the people of New York, New 
						Jersey and the millions using Port Authority facilities.
						The Port 
						Authority PBA is saddened by the passing of retired PAPD 
						K9 Nero, E.O.W. 11/9/19.
						Nero 
						bravely fought cancer for nine and a half weeks, much 
						longer than any of his doctors estimated; a testament to 
						his warrior spirit. He enjoyed his retirement with his 
						partner's family and left this life at 12 years old 
						while in his partner's arms.
