Kenobi, clearly unconcerned with the formalities of the occasion, decided it was the perfect moment for a display of affection, covering Knach’s face with kisses.

Despite Knach’s best efforts to keep a serious face on, he couldn’t help but break into a smile. I mean, who can blame him?

But we know the truth 🙂

 

More Than Partners

Behind the hilarious photos is a serious commitment to the safety and well-being of their community.

Officer Knach and Kenobi are constantly training and preparing to handle the challenges of their roles, from locating missing persons and detecting criminal activity to identifying illegally taken wildlife.

According to DNR Corporal Rodney Clear, Officer Knach is “a true example of a leader and servant,” a sentiment that extends to his four-legged partner as well.

Even off the field, Knach and Kenobi are inseparable, a duo that fully embodies the spirit of dedication and mutual respect crucial to the success of any K-9 unit.

 

A Lasting Impact

The viral photos of Kenobi and Officer Knach are more than just moments of cuteness; they are powerful reminders of the deep bonds that can form between humans and animals, especially in roles that involve trust and reliance on one another.

Their behind the scenes photo will be long remembered, and we wish Levi and Kenobi all of the best for their life & careers!
