Legendary York Co. K-9 dies from health complications<\/p>\n
A legendary York County Sheriff\u2019s Office K-9 died on Tuesday due to health complications resulting from a cancer diagnosis.Gabby was honored in the morning by YCSO K-9 team members, Rock Hill Police K-9 Team members, and former handlers before being taken to a veterinarian.\u201cThis is heart-crushing news to many in law enforcement and the York County community,\u201d said Sheriff Kevin Tolson. Gabby was truly a one-of-a-kind K-9 and will be hard to replace.\u201dThroughout her career, Gabby accumulated over 300 captures of suspects and found hundreds of missing people. She was the first dog to get the YCSO Medal of Valor for her actions during a shooting incident on Jan.16, 2018, where her handler, Sgt. Randy Clinton was shot in the line of duty.\u201cShe was a good one, for sure; if she only caught one suspect, she did her job,\u201d said Clinton. \u201cShe was an asset to the citizens of York County and will be missed, but she did her job the best she could, and we honored her as she deserved.\u201dGabby was a ten-and-a-half-year-old tracking bloodhound who served nine years as a full-time tracking K-9. She also mothered a litter of puppies, who now work for the sheriff\u2019s office and other agencies that have put several other suspects in custody throughout the Carolinas.\u201cHer legacy will live on through those dogs,\u201d said Sgt. Chris Kinsey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
