Cobb County K9 dies after 7 years of service
A Cobb County K9 has died from a “medical issue.” K9 Axle joined the Cobb County Police Department in January 2014 and served on a narcotics unit with Officer Johnson. Officials say Axle died Wednesday morning. The police department said that Axle was deployed 600 times to search for narcotics, violent suspects and other evidence. They say he found 29 suspects that were on the run, found 277 pounds of drugs with a street value of $1.3 million and $100,000 in money dealers made from selling drugs. He served the police department honorably. Please keep Officer Johnson, his family and the K9 Unit in your prayers.
