    Lycos is a two year old male German Shepherd trained in tracking and master protection. Lycos, who lives with his handler, Officer Jon Eggers, has an excellent record and has been a great asset to both our agency and other agencies that have requested our assistance.

    He worked his normal shift Wednesday, then Thursday was found to be partially paralyzed in the hind quarters.

    Emergency medical treatment found a damaged vertebrae.
