An Ohio State Trooper made a trip to Orange County Friday, bringing with it a very special K-9 a generous donation in memory.
Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Stacey Arnold know that sometimes the best on four legs are. Now it works on that their former partner's legacy by police K-9 work will live all across the country, to ensure.
Trooper Arnold ask and you will say Ringo was more than just a dog; for close to a decade, he served as both your partner and friend.
"His service, he was approximately 53 million responsible for seizure $ worth of contraband", Arnold said.
Ringo was to lose in the State of Ohio for nine years before his fight against cancer in May.
"We decided that Ringo was the only dog, who help with his health care needs", explains Arnold. "There are so many other dogs out there, to retire from departments and need that to ensure quality health care and financial support that."
This is when Arnold decided Ringo's legacy, a fund set up, to help improve the quality of life, former K-9 found all across the country. If you heard the Orange County Sheriff's had Department need a bulletproof vest from K-9, Arnold knew what you had to do.
"There are departments that can't afford to buy equipment because of the budget, so we strongly felt that Ringo's legacy should life on", she said. "If part its equipment can go to help someone else's dog, is what we had to do."
"We felt that because we had the vest and there was a K-9 in need, our duty it was because we had the functions of support and donations the vest to the Department," added Emily Yerkes, Ringo's legacy co-founder. "It protected him, why not allow that to protect someone else as well."
K-9 West lead in the rule would have been close to a $1,000, effort that Department on its own handle County Sheriff's difficult for the Orange. By donating and the memory Fund Arnold says the memory of Ringo and all K-9 troopers will be live on.
