THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2025 Page 9 Revere Police’s K9 Charlie wraps up 2024 By Melissa Moore-Randall R evere’s favorite pooch, K9 Charlie, has wrapped up 2024, topping off another exciting year in the soon-to-betwo-year-old pup’s life. “Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone has started their new year off on the right foot or paw as we canines say! I ended 2024 very busy and enjoying the best job in the whole world! “As always, I started the second half of 2024 welcoming all of my human friends back to school in late August. I saw lots of smiles on the fi rst day! There were some tears from my littlest human school friends. I know how hard it is for summer to be over and missing home. I am lucky I get to go to work with my dad every day. Everyone is always so excited to see me at school and it makes my heart so full! “As everyone settled into being back to school, I was busy fi nishing some of my training and attending many back to school events. I proudly displayed my pink badge for Breast Cancer Survivor Month. Did you check me out in front of the cool pink RPD car? What a great ride! I got to hang out with Revere’s canines at Barktoberfest. There were so many cool Halloween costumes and even a doggie ice cream truck. I scream! You scream! We all scream for puppy ice cream! “Dad and I traveled to Endicott College in early December. I needed to spread some love and comfort to the students and the staff . A beloved member of their community, Sgt. Jeremy Cole, lost his life in a wrong-way crash. It was nice to hear students, faculty and staff share how he positively impacted their lives. “As Mayor Keefe wrapped up 2024, we had a meeting to discuss ‘our’ plans for 2025. And then it was my favorite time of the year...Christmas! Who does not love Christmas! I rocked around the Christmas tree and saw the Grinch lurking around every corner. The guy is creepy! I enjoyed a long Christmas break with my family. It was nice to have family time. I learned a new skill … pulling my big brother around on his sled in the snow. I will defi nitely help my abs look great! “I kicked off the New Year by becoming an offi cial therapy dog! I am a proud member of the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, an international organization dedicated to bringing comfort and happiness to those in need. I am so proud! “Stay warm and remember spring is right around the corner! “To learn more about me and my adventures, you can follow me on Instagram at charlie_reverepd.” K9 Charlie posing for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
