WELLINGTON, Kan. — Ruby the K-9 officer for Kansas game wardens may be pushing 10 years of old, but her sniffer works just fine.
That was evident earlier this month when Ruby played a key role in tracking down a man wanted by police in the south-central Kansas town of Wellington. A Monday Facebook posting by Kansas Wildlife & Parks-Game Wardens says Ruby and her handler, Chris Stout, joined in the search for the suspect on Oct. 8 at Wellington City Lake. Ruby found the suspect “face down in mud under dense brush.”
For her hard work, Ruby was rewarded with a swim in the lake.
