K-9 Copper is a four-legged hero. He’s had a busy first year on the job.
This 5-year-old bloodhound is trained to find missing people and relies on his strong scent senses.
Steven Sella is a Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputy. “Having a dog and their sense of smell makes it so much easier. We can at least establish a direction of travel,” Sella said.
Deputy Sella and Copper saved an older woman missing for more than 24 hours. They found her clinging to a life preserver in a pond.
