Scooby is another addition to the growing family of FCSO K9 therapy dogs with the office recently adding corgi puppy Brook in July.
The sheriff's office K9 program was established in 2017 and has expanded to join with victim advocacy groups across central Ohio and federal law enforcement agencies across the country. Mattis K. Nine was the FCSO's first law enforcement therapy dog, the first in the state of Ohio, and the sixth in the country. He died in June at the age of seven.
