The Belgian Malinois Preacher became a K9 with the Maine State Police nearly three years ago. His handler, Sergeant Jonathan Russell, said Preacher was shot in the abdomen while chasing a suspect who was trying to flee.

Police say 47-year-old Christapher Dodge engaged officers in an "armed confrontration," where he was shot and later pronounced dead.
