Salmonella outbreak in county
Sheriff's dog put to sleep
Deputy Terry Harper and dog Dax
The Morrow County Sheriff's
Office is mourning the death of
one of their staff. Dax, the
departm ent's four-year-old
German Shepherd police dog,
was put to sleep after the
discovery of a tumor in the
dog's spinal cord.
Morrow County Undersheriff
Verlin Denton said that the Dax
had demonstrated motor func
tion problems, such as dragg
ing his paws to the extent that
the dog wore the hair off the
front of his feet. The depart
ment eventually took the dog
to the W ashington State
U niversity D epartm ent of
Veterinary Clinical Sciences,
who discovered the tumor. Ac
cording to Denton, veterin
arians at WSU said that Dax
had only a 50 percent chance of
surviving surgery and if he did,
he would probably be paralyz
ed. They said he would never
again be a police dog and
recommended that he be “ put
dow n", said Denton.
Denton said that the whole
department was saddened by
the dog's death, especially
Dax's master, Morrow County
Sheriff's Deputy Terry Harper
and Harper's family. Dax lived
at the Harper home, sleeping at
the foot of Harper's bed. “ This
has hit everyone kind of hard,"
said Denton.
Denton added that Dax was
“ invaluable” and was just star
ting to show some real promise
in working with the drug task
force. While the department
hopes to someday replace Dax,
Denton says, “ Right now we
just don't have the m oney."
The dog cost the department
$5,000, with another $5,000 for
training. Denton says that the
department is trying to get
compensation from the Ger
man breeder who sold them
the dog.
The department got Dax in
Sept. 1993.
