In this photo taken on Jan. 31, 2014, St. Paul Police Department mounted patrol officer Gerry Johnson, left, holds onto retiring police horse Black Jack, left, as officer Andrew Lewis puts Black Jack's duty saddle on his replacement, Rascal, right, during a ceremony at the department's stables in Woodbury, Minn. Black Jack, the longest-serving police horse in St. Paul, has been a workhorse — in his 14 years with the department, he never once called in sick or missed a day of work, a senior police commander joked. The 18-year-old horse will return to his owners, who’d donated him to the police department, and live out his remaining years in pasture.
