The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office announced the retirement of Deputy John Samuelson’s K9 partner, Bosco, and released the following statement:Near the beginning of the year, agency administrators began discussing the future of K9 Bosco with Deputy Jon Samuelson, including whether he wished to continue serving as a K9 handler after Bosco’s retirement. Last week, agency administrators and Deputy Samuelson made the difficult—but necessary—decision to officially retire K9 Bosco, effective July 28th. Bosco will go down as arguably the most successful K9 in the history of the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office.” Their bond was inseparable, and together they made La Porte County a safer place to live and visit.” The men and women of the Sheriff’s Office are grateful for the years of faithful service, unwavering dedication, and extraordinary contributions of Bosco.
