The Baxter County Coroner’s Office has a new employee, but this employee has four legs and a tail. Kairos is a cadaver dog that has joined the coroner’s office and it’s believed he is the only cadaver dog in Arkansas, or will be when he is fully trained. Baxter County Coroner Sam Seamans made the announcement this week. He says it was the idea of Chief Deputy Coroner Sara Fischer to add Kairos to the team.
Kairos is a long haired German Sheppard that is 11 1/2 weeks old. Fischer will train Kairos herself, saving the county thousands of dollars. Fischer also purchased the dog herself.
She says cadaver dogs can be certified in many levels including searching homes, disaster areas and water ways. Fischer says she would like to get Kairos certified for everything.
