Please Welcome K-9 Milo #389
Please welcome K-9 “Milo” to our Project K-9 Hero Pack as our 389th Program Member. Milo honorably served as a Narcotics Detection K-9 with the Cannon County Sheriff’s Office, Grundy County Sheriff’s Office, and the Monteagle Police Department, all in the State of Tennessee, from 2021 until he was medically retired last week on May 7th, 2026 due to seizures.
In his five years of service, K-9 Milo, had an extremely successful run. He began his career paired with his Handler, Brant, who was a highly decorated veteran who served 20 years in the USMC and exceeded in everything he did, to include working alongside the United States President assigned to White House security for several years.
After Brant retired from the Marine Corps, he decided to go into Law Enforcement where he found his passion in working in high crime and drug areas. This is when he decided to look into using his GI Bill to put him through K-9 Handling School with the hopes that the Sheriff would be on board with bringing a dog onto the department to help get the drugs off the streets in Cannon County. Luckily, the Sheriff was aligned and agreed.
Brant was partnered with Milo at K-9 School in 2021 and they immediately clicked; they were the perfect duo. They began their journey together in Cannon County after K-9 Handling School where they removed numerous drugs from the streets, one of those being one of Cannon County’s largest drug busts of 900 grams of meth. The two later moved on to Grundy County and Monteagle Police Department, where they continued to shake the streets and clean up the drugs with many more big arrests.
Milo became a big hit with all the residents in Monteagle. People would even stop by the Police Department just to see him. Brant got injured at work in the summer of 2024, while helping another officer with an unruly arrest, causing him to be out of work for several months. He then decided to slow down his pace, rebuild his strength and stamina as an SRO with Tullahoma Police Department, with plans to get Milo in the schools. Brant had just started his employment with Tullahoma and was awaiting his paperwork to clear TLETA when he suddenly passed away, leaving behind his wife, their 5-year-old son, Beckham, and K-9 Milo.
Now as a widow, who also works in Law Enforcement, the monetary costs of Milo’s recent medical issues (seizures) is an amount that would be a financial burden on any actively serving first responder. Due to his very immediate medical needs, we are placing K-9 Milo into our program so we can cover his current veterinary costs, plus all future office visits, medications, supplements, diagnostic testing, and surgeries at 100%, for the rest of his life.
Please take a moment to welcome K-9 Milo to our Pack! PK9H is here to protect you after all you have done to protect the State of Tennessee and surrounding communities.
