COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office announced the name of its new therapy K9, in what it called the “Puppy Naming Pawsibilities” contest.
In a social media post on Friday, the sheriff’s office shared a picture of the boxer puppy with a graphic of the voting results.
The office related in a previous post that the dog’s new handler, Deputy Kennedy, is a “huge Star Wars fan,” and listed four Star Wars-themed name choices voters could pick. The selections were Mando, Obi, Rex, or Luke.
