In an announcement on Monday, Nov. 4, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office PBA revealed the death of K9 Satch, who served the county for more than seven years. 

After beginning his career in January 2015 with his handler, Deputy Christopher Tompkins, Satch went on to become certified in tracking, evidence search, criminal apprehension, handler protection, and explosive detection. 

In a post on social media memorializing the fallen K9, the Sheriff's Office PBA said Satch served Putnam with a "gentlemanly attitude" and was "always a hit with children and a pleasure to see show up on any scene.⁣" 

"K-9 Satch was known for his hatred of water bottles, his playful squad room antics with coworkers, and the distinguished gentlemanly way he would lay down," the Sheriff's Office PBA added.

"Thank you Satch for your years of service to Putnam County. Rest easy," the PBA continued.
