Incident
K9 Cane died from internal injuries suffered two days earlier during a training accident in the sheriff's office parking lot.
Cane was rewarded with a ball during the training and chased it as it rolled under a trailer. As he ran toward the trailer he was unable to stop due to ice on the ground and struck the trailer. He suffered internal injuries as a result of the impact.
K9 Cane was certified for service only two months prior to his death.
