YORK COUNTY, Va. — The York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office got a new K9 and sought the community's input on what to name the dog.
Deputies picked a 15-month-old German Shepherd as the office's next K9. The dog specializes in explosives, and patrol functions for tracking and apprehension.
The sheriff's office took to Facebook on Monday to share four options for names — Maverick, Murphy, Cannon and Nitro — and asked people to comment which one is their favorite. The name that got the most comments would be picked.
After the voting ended Thursday at 7 a.m., the name Nitro came out on top, while Maverick came in a close second.
