Drago was killed in the line of duty during the shooting in Allen, June 30th. The lobby was filled with canine units from other departments, members of the community, and their dogs. Deputy Dustin Newsom and Justin Shemshack, Drago's handlers, both spoke of their memories with Drago. Before I went to training, I met up with this canine handler. I don't know if he was a canine handler in the 80s or not, but he set me up for failure. He's like, what I did, man, is I just took the cage part out of my car so the dog, you know, he could jump up front and if I needed him, he could come out the window. I was like, man, that's a brilliant idea. That's excellent. Well, we get to training and we're sitting there laying tracks and I turn around and my locks are on. And the next thing I know, my car was shaking and moving. I run over there and Drago decided that he was going to paint my seat right off the back. I was like, well, I don't know how I'm going to tell the Sheriff. It was an amazing feeling spending time with him riding around in the car, just knowing that he was there and I was riding with the most feared deputy in the county. I can't count the nights that I was working on and the other guys, they would call me and say, do you need help? Do you need me to come out? I'm just saying no. If I can't take care of it, Drago will. Drago, when he would put a vest on, he knew it was time for business. However, when our shift would end and I got him home with the vest coming off, he was the sweetest dog that anybody could ever know. I was only with him for a short time, but those will probably be some of the best times that I can remember if my career would get older. K-9 Drago was with the Fully County Sheriff's Department for six years after being trained by Jordan Pigman. At the end of his watch, Drago had helped remove an estimated $500,000 of drugs, $300,000 in cash, and over $150,000 in firearms from the streets. He's been just a tool and an asset to us ever since we've had him and a best friend pretty much to our guys. Everything we've done, Drago's been a part of it. In some of our biggest drug busts, he's done our biggest seizures, whether it's anything drug-related, apprehension-wise. He's helped us track people. I mean, he's just been a tool and a friend like no other, a police officer. I spent a lot of time in law enforcement prior to my being sheriff. I was never a dog person in law enforcement. I wish every car had one now. I've watched it over the last four or five years and Drago has changed my mind, but just in today's time in society, that extra help, that partner to have with you. Our officers today obviously minus the ones we've had tragedy over the week. But over for the last four or five years, we're healthy and safe a lot of nights because our dog has gone in front of us to clear a house, catch a bad guy that took us out of harm's way. So I'm a very opponent of our canines being on our force and we will have a couple more in the future.
