K-9 is simply an abbreviation of Canine or another word for dog. It apparently originated in the military, where designations such as G-2 are common, making K-9 a rare official pun, being similar to "canine". The term, originally referencing war dogs, has since carried over to police, and sentry and assistance dogs as well.
