3-legged K9 fights crime after losing leg<\/strong>
\nWith his keen sense of smell, Boone helps officers track down evidence, missing people, and suspects.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nWISE COUNTY, Va. \u2014 A K-9 in southwest Virginia named Boone is getting us uplifted with his resilience.<\/p>\n

He’s a one-year-old bloodhound with the Wise County Sheriff’s Office. With his keen sense of smell, Boone helps officers track down evidence, missing people, and suspects.<\/p>\n

But a few months ago, his handler noticed a knot on his leg. That knot ended up being cancer.<\/p>\n

Vets were able to remove the cancer, which also led to the amputation of his leg. The sheriff’s office thought it meant Boone would have to retire, but the K-9 had other ideas.<\/p>\n

“Two or three days after the surgery I was talking to the vet and she said this dog is bouncing around like it has five legs, it does not know its missing a leg, and she said he’s going to be able to go back to work,” Sheriff E. Grant Kilgore said.<\/p>\n

After getting the all clear, Boone did just that, and just a few weeks later, he found a missing child. And in the next two weeks, he found two more missing kids.<\/p>\n

Police K-9s typically serve for up to nine years before retiring, and it looks like Boone is well on-track for many more years of service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
