After the shooting Frankie was rushed to Wachusett Animal Hospital in Westminster, where he was pronounced dead. On the way, he received emergency treatment by Fitchburg EMS, the first animal to receive such care underFrankie and Stucenski were a decorated pair. In 2017, they were awarded the Medal of Valor at the George L. Hanna Awards for Bravery, the state’s top law enforcement award ceremony, for their work capturing a hit-and-run suspect who opened fire at the pair in Springfield.
"When one of our K9s pass – until today, never in the line of duty – our K9 handlers have a saying. “Free Time.” It means that these brave dogs who work so hard to protect the rest of us have earned their eternal peace," Mason said.
