Rocky the US Marshall K9 is going to recover [View all]

Yesterday I got a couple alerts that there was a search in a nearby county for a fugitive who shot and killed a law enforcement officer who was trying to serve a warrant. Later the press was covering the fact that US Marshall K9 had located the fugitive and was shot in the process. This hero was transported in a Department of Public Safety helicopter and is going to recover
