“Obviously it’s a very somber day,” said Hartford Police Chief Scott MacFarlan. “For all of us canine Cash wasn’t just a dog, he was a partner and a dedicated partner of officer Dorn. To lose a canine resource like that it’s tough for all of us and we’re all here to give our final salute to what was a great relationship with a canine for nine years, seven months and 28 days.”
Officer Dorn led the way with Cash, content, and riding shotgun.
