K9 Elko Elko, a 6 year old German Shepherd Search Dog with the Mariposa County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, passed away due to a swift moving cancer. Elko had served the county for 5 years participating in numerous trainings, public relations and several searches. Often "en route" to a search, his fate was to be called off more often than not when the missing person was found before he got there. But he was always ready and looked forward to helping in the field. Elko didn't know it was a time of anxiety for the missing person's family, he just looked forward to "working" (read Playing) with Connie, his handler; and he was the best at his game of "Track". He was credited with one live find in the two longer
searches he was used on - he was on
track during the second live find when teams jumping ahead made the find based upon his direction.
"A great team member, now tracking elsewhere."
