(KAIR)--A sad day at the Sheriff’s Office.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse made that statement in a social media post early Thursday afternoon in reference to the death of one of his agency’s police service dogs.
According to the post, Benny, which Morse called “a massive beautiful German Shepherd” “succumbed to a recent and sudden illness.”
Morse said Benny and his handler, Sgt. Travis DeBarge, “were a great team who together captured a lot of bad guys.”
Morse, sending sympathy to DeBarge and his family, added that “Benny will be hard to replace,” but says his department is “thankful to get to work with him on numerous occasions.”
