Officials from the Logan County Sheriff\u2019s Office announced Thursday morning that the department\u2019s newly trained K9, Cane, passed away about 5:30 a.m. Thursday following a short illness this week.\u201cIt is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our K9 Cane. Cane sustained a minor injury and was placed out of service Tuesday, Nov. 12, by Northside Animal Clinic. \u201cCane\u2019s unknown condition worsened and he was transported to MedVet in Columbus where he was being held and treated.\u201d At the animal hospital, K9 Cane went into cardiac arrest and lost his life in the arms of his handler, Deputy Cole Piatt, LCSO officials said. Aug. 8, the then 15-month-old German shepherd from Slovakia started his career at the sheriff\u2019s office with Deputy Piatt. Cane and Deputy Piatt trained together at the Von der Haus Gill German Shepherds & Police K9 Academy in Wapakoneta. The pair became state certified for duty Sept. 25. \u201cK9 Cane had a promising career with our office. The passing of Cane will be a great loss for our agency, but even greater loss for Cane\u2019s handler, Deputy Piatt,\u201d agency officials said in a press release. \u201cThe Logan County Sheriff\u2019s Office, local K9 training partners and the community mourn the loss of Cane. We are thankful for his service. Rest in peace, K9 Cane.\u201d Memorial donations will be accepted through Citizen\u2019s Federal Savings & Loan, 110 N.
