Putnam County approves canine retirement and addition for sheriff's unit
Summary
Commissioners approved a retirement agreement for a Labrador named Mack and approved adding a new German shepherd, Dave, to the sheriff's canine unit; both approvals were conditioned on County Attorney Ensley confirming insurance liability.
Sheriff Baugh reported on the county canine unit and presented a retirement agreement for a Labrador named Mack; SGT Anthony Brown intends to assume responsibility for the dog. The board approved Mack’s retirement pending County Attorney Jim Ensley checking insurance liability.
SGT Anthony Brown also presented an affidavit for a new German shepherd, Dave, to join the unit as the department’s third canine. The commissioners approved adding Dave, again pending review with the county’s insurance carrier. "Mack has done a fantastic job for law enforcement, for our community," Sheriff Baugh said during the presentation.
