Ohio K-9 Igor Reunited with Cop Handler After Ownership Battle
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail
After facing public outrage, the police chief of Shaker Heights, Ohio, has allowed K-9 police dog Igor to retire and live with his handler, Officer Chad Hagen. Hagen had resigned from the police department and offered $10,000 to take Igor with him, but the chief initially insisted that the dog stay. However, after a social media campaign and fundraising efforts, Igor will now be reunited with Hagen, with Hagen agreeing to pay $16,500 to the police department for a replacement K-9 and training. The decision comes after a change in city law to allow officers to take ownership of their canine partners upon leaving the department.
