Sad news from Henry County

It is with deep sadness and heartfelt regret that we announce the passing of K-9 Gunner this morning, June 19th, 2019, at 12:22 a.m. K-9 Gunner sustained a spinal injury while off-duty, the extent of which he was unable to recover.

Gunner was a 3-year-old male German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois-mix that was trained in drug detection, as well as human scent tracking and had been in service with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office since October, 2017. His handler was Deputy Bobby Osman.

Gunner’s love for his work could be seen in his eyes every day and that love will not only by missed by Deputy Osman and his family, but also by his fellow deputies, as well as the community for which he graciously served.
