Handler – Deputy Morgan Case<\/p>\n
Ada Co. K-9 dies from unexpected medical problem <\/p>\n
The Ada County Sheriff\u2019s Office has lost a member of its K-9 unit. The dog, Rook, came to Ada County from Germany in 2010. He was two years old at the time, and soon began working on narcotics detection and patrol deployments. Rook captured first place in narcotics detection and second in patrol work at the 2012 Idaho Police Canine Association competition. In an obituary for Rook, Deputy Morgan Case writes that \u201cRook had no complaints when it came to getting the bad guy and, on many occasions, his handler, too. He often looked up at me smugly, toy in his mouth, and could only be thinking, \u2018Oh, was that your hand in the way? Dumb human,\u2019 as he trotted off triumphantly.\u201d Rook and Deputy Case were separated for two and a half years by a family move, but Rook achieved state K-9 certification for a second time and rejoined the ACSO on January 5, 2016. Rook\u2019s last shift was Wednesday, March 15, 2017. The sheriff\u2019s office says Rook died from a sudden and unexpected medical issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
