Orange County K9 Boone dies of cancer
A Central Florida K9 deputy died Saturday of cancer, according to Orange County Sheriff’s Office. OCSO posted a video Thursday in tribute to K9 Boone, who worked with the Sheriff’s Office for six years. Most of Boone’s tenure with OCSO was spent with Master Deputy Allen Darcey. The two worked together missing persons and felony cases, experiencing many successes in both. In November 2020, Boone was diagnosed with cancer but continued to work with OCSO through his treatment. Boone was able to retire after he turned 7. However, after retirement Boone developed a new tumor that was not treatable. “Thank you for your service K9 Boone. You will never be forgotten,” OCSO said.
