YORK COUNTY, SC The York County Sheriff’s Office recently extended a helping paw – several of them, actually – to a sheriff’s office in North Carolina.
York County donated two bloodhounds to the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office in southeast North Carolina. Star and Missy are 2 1/2 years old and are products of the York sheriff’s office K-9 training program, for which the agency is known nationwide, spokesman Trent Faris said.
“They’re dogs that have been trained by us and we donate them to other law enforcement agencies that are in need of bloodhounds,” he said. “We have seven puppies that are currently being trained that are bred by our other bloodhounds.”
The Brunswick sheriff’s office for several years had two bloodhounds named Bonnie and Clyde, said Deputy Chris Powell, Clyde’s handler.
“We tragically lost Clyde last year in July,” said Powell, a K-9 handler of six years.
