ZEPHYRHILLS - A memorial service will be held Friday for Gunner, the Zephyrhills police dog who died in the line of duty Thursday during a burglary call.

The 4-year-old black German shepherd, who was partnered with Officer Joseph Rinaldo, had responded to a burglary in progress at a business and was struck by an SUV and killed when trying to cross Gall Boulevard after being called off when pursuing the suspects.

Both suspects in the burglary were apprehended by backup officers.

The canine's memorial service will be at 2 p.m. at Zephyr Park directly behind Alice Hall, 38116 Fifth Ave.
