(From the Jasper County Sheriff's Office)It is with a heavy heart that the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of one our retired canines.
Copper started his career with the sheriff’s office with his handler/owner Deputy Joe Houdyshell. They enjoyed an extremely successful career together locating missing children and criminal suspects.
Copper once located a murder suspect for CPD after several days of thunderstorms. The suspects that chose to run from Copper quickly realized they couldn’t hide from him for long.
Sheriff Kaiser noted, “I had the pleasure of working with Copper on a number of cases. He was the best tracking dog I have ever seen.”
Copper joined the Sheriff’s K-9 unit as a donated dog that needed a job! It didn’t take long for him to be trained and to hit the streets protecting the citizens of Jasper County.
Copper enjoyed his retirement years at home with the Houdyshell family. Copper’s dedication to his job, his partner, his fellow Law Enforcement Officers and the citizens of Jasper County will be deeply missed.
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office along with current and past members of the K9 team would like to take this opportunity to thank Copper for his five years of service, his hard work and unwavering courage in making sure that those who became lost were able to be located and returned home safely.
Thank you, Copper, rest easy we have it from here!
