Some would say Officer Doug Sahlberg and his partner, Molly, were more like a devoted married couple than a police team. He claims to have spent nearly every waking hour with her, but his wife, Judy, says she didn't mind.
...
Molly was not just Sahlberg's partner, she was also a part of his and Judy's family. So when the 5-year-old yellow Labrador died unexpectedly in January 2005, the Sahlbergs were grief-stricken and left to wonder what happened to their beloved pet.
...
"That dog was on her game," Judy said. "It was a tragedy losing her because she was so good at what she did."
But her professionalism and extraordinary skills may have also led to her demise.
...
Molly and Doug were part of the first K-9 tracking and recovery teams at Ground Zero after the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. The pair went to New York on September 12, 2001, and spent 12 grueling days working on the site. Molly was able to locate more than 1,000 body parts, aiding in the identification process for New York police and victims' families.
Doug says that when Molly returned home after her time at Ground Zero, she was depressed and withdrawn for more than a month. |
