The Montgomery County (TN) Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of K9 Mallie, who died Tuesday due to medical conditions.
Fox 17 reports that Mallie was an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois who served both the MCSO and Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Scott Demonbreun said she was an excellent tracker and drug interdiction. She began her career in law enforcement there in 2008.
She worked in community policing as a regular figure at schools, day cares and community events conducting demonstrations and interacting with young ones. MCSO said Mallie’s calm disposition made her a favorite among children.
