FAIRBURY, Neb. (AP) — Authorities in Jefferson County say a veteran K-9 has died.
Jefferson County Sheriff Nels Sorensen says the German Shepherd named Ringo died Wednesday morning following an unspecified medical condition.
Ringo joined the sheriff’s office in 2007, before a stint at the Fairbury Police Department in 2009 and 2010. The dog returned to the sheriff’s office in 2011.
Sorensen said that Ringo was a great asset to Jefferson County.
