Fox News
Ohio police officer Chad Hagan is putting up a fight to keep his beloved companion, but he says law enforcement officials are standing in the way of his goal.
"Igor's six-and-a-half, almost seven-years-old and everyone knows the dog starts slowing down. He's past his prime," he continued. "We wake up in the morning, get ready for work, [and] he doesn't want to follow me down the stairs because his body's aching. He's been a working dog for however many years. He's worked hard. He's done his time, and he deserves to be at home with the family, be comfortable and just live the rest of his life happy." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
Igor, a German Shepherd, has worked with Chad for more than five years. His wife, Danielle, said the dog has saved Chad's life and the lives of others on multiple occasions.
