ELLWOOD CITY, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania police officer is following in his retired father’s footsteps — all four of them.
The New Castle News says a 3-year-old German shepherd named Ranger is picking up where his father, 11-year-old Jozek, left off. Ranger will be a K-9 officer with the police department in Ellwood City, a borough 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
Jozek retired his badge on Monday. He has assisted in 64 apprehensions, 43 building searches, 174 drug searches and dozens of other tasks and demonstrations since joining the police force in 2007.
