A memorial service in southwest Ohio honored an Air Force dog that died earlier this month after a military career, which included serving in the Iraq War and helping federal authorities with more than 500 arrests.

Nisan’s memorial service with military honors was Friday afternoon at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where he had been assigned since 2003.

The 10-year-old German Shepherd also worked with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agencies and helped track down about 20 pounds of narcotics.
