Connellsville community says final goodbye to K-9 Ambroos during his last ride
The Connellsville community lined the streets on Saturday to say their final goodbyes to K-9 Officer Ambroos.
K-9 Ambroos had been battling cancer over the last few months and officially retired from the force on March 24. The disease had rapidly spread, and the department said to avoid unnecessary suffering, a decision was made to lay Officer Ambroos to rest.
