Great job officers and K-9’s❣️❣️❣️ SO VERY VERY PROUD OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR HEROIC K9’s!! One proud momma of one especially!!
“Why are there no pictures of the canine heroes?”
Except for one where the K-9s were too small to see, none were provided by the ECSO. Guessing the K-9s did not attend the awards ceremony.
…Great job for years of hard work…The citizens of our county are so proud of the training and performance of the ECSO..
Why are there no pictures of the canine heroes?
