Sherifff Cambell, so sorry for the loss of your departments K9 Koda. I also send special condolences to his handler wishing the best. I am sure there are many special memorys for his handler that only he or she can share. A canine and his handler are a team, a team with a special kind of bond that only another seasoned handler would understand. Best regards to your department & staff.
