Horry County Police Department announced Tuesday the death of a retired service dog. Bloodhound Shelley died Monday morning at 11.5 years old, the department said. \u201cIt is with great sadness that we announce the passing of retired HCPD Bloodhound Shelley, who crossed over the rainbow bridge Monday morning at 11.5 years old,\u201d the department tweeted. Shelley served from 2011 to 2020 and was involved in more than 170 calls for service with a success rate of about 90%, according to the department. The department asks people to keep Shelley\u2019s handler, Stg. Miller, in their thoughts. \u201cOver the years, she located countless missing people and put even more behind bars,\u201d Miller said. \u201cAnyone who has ever been on a track with her can say how good she was. Even though she was retired, she still wanted to work every time she came out of the kennel. I\u2019m just glad I had the privilege to hang on to the \u2018dumb end\u2019 of the lead for all those years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
