Hero Dog Award

Zella said,

“Without Hero the outcome could have been much worse.” 

“Hero is a godsend and has not only assisted me in finding missing people, he also excels at apprehending criminals.”

In the Town of Vernon, a trooper stopped a car that was traveling at 96 mph on I-84 East. The Trooper saw multiple signs of criminal activity when conversing with the operator.

Based on this knowledge, K9 Hero was requested to the location to perform a “sniff” of the car’s exterior. The smell of drugs inside the car was then detected by K9 Drago, who then notified his handler.

A BB pistol, several drug paraphernalia items, and more than 140 bags of probable fentanyl were later found during the search.
