Douglas County is about to get a new deputy dog.

Sheriff Rick Trapp received permission Monday morning from county commissioners to accept a $10,000 gift, which will finance the bulk of buying and training a new dog to sniff out drugs, track suspects and root out burglars from buildings.

For more about the dog and its expectations, watch 6News tonight at 6 p.m. on Sunflower Broadband’s cable Channel 6. And for details about the financial donor, and who will handle the dog on duty, read Tuesday’s Journal-World.
