K-9 from Montrose County Sheriff’s Department Saves Woman’s Life

Tigo the super K-9 has been on the job with the Montrose County Sheriff's Department for a week, and has already managed to save a life.

On May 26 there had been a report given to the Montrose County Sheriff's Department a woman had been suffering from a mental health episode. The family members related to the lady in trouble were concerned that she was going to take her life. The family feared she might overdose on pills.

Tigo, a Belgian shepherd, has been trained in narcotics detection and tracking. Sgt. Chuck Searcy works with Tigo and stated that "Tigo did a fine job with his first big assignment."

According to the Montrose Press, the woman could have died if it weren't for Tigo. Searcy said, "if it weren't for Tigo they may not have found her."

Thank goodness for dogs like Tigo that do their job and do it well.
