K-9 That Succumbed To Cancer Honored By Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4) - A K-9 officer was honored on Wednesday for his service with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Flash died last week after battling cancer. For the past 9 years he had worked with deputies to solve crimes.
