"Yogi" was born on
September 18, 1989, and named "Fosgate's Fozzie Bear." When soon to be
partner for life, Officer Jerry Nichols went to pick him out of the
littler, he had every intention of naming him "Fred." That was soon
thrown out by his son, Eric, who liked the name "Yogi" much better, sure
fit him! As a team, Jerry & Yogi worked 476 cases for over 70 Federal,
State & Local Agencies in 8 states. Due to their work, they have been
instrumental in Appellate Court decisions in Colorado, regarding
bloodhound evidence. During Yogi's last active manhunt, one Denver, CO
officer was killed and another ambushed. Yogi passed over the "Rainbow
Bridge in June, 1998 as a result of cancer. Only one week prior, he
worked a homicide case. He was happy to be working.
