Sergeant Keto

Keto began his career with one of the most elite Navy SEAL teams before transitioning to law enforcement in 2021. About a year and a half later, he was stabbed by a suspect during an apprehension but refused to let go until the arrest was made. His bravery that day ensured justice, and thanks to his handler and medical team, he made a full recovery.

Though his body healed, Keto developed PTSD and was medically retired. His handler, who shares an unbreakable bond with him, adopted him so he could live out his retirement surrounded by love.

Now approaching his 8th birthday this October, Keto stays sharp with detection training, sports work, and even showing off his skills at K9 Tactical Conferences. Off duty, he embraces his playful side—especially when chasing chickens and cats around the yard (no animals harmed, of course!).

From SEAL missions to the streets to a well-earned retirement, Keto’s story is one of courage, resilience, and heart.
