Rock Springs Police Dog Diagnosed With Cancer

Rock Springs police dog, Athos, is suffering from cancer, but he will to live out his life with his handler, Officer Anthony Hall. City councilors voted Tuesday to allow officer Hall to buy his canine partner, so he can live with the Hall family. The 10-year-old dog developed a limp in his right foreleg which turned out to be caused by cancer. His veterinarian says the German Shepard has about a year left to live. Hall said Athos worked on the two largest drug busts in the department's history and his retirement will leave a big hole in the agency.
