KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- Police in Kernersville are looking for a driver they said struck and killed a police tracking dog Monday morning, then drove away from the scene.

The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. on Dobson Street.

The four-year-old dog named Jake was owned by Tri-City Trackers, a group that trains and aids the Kernersville police department and other agencies with criminal and rescue tracking, the police department said in a news release.



Jake's owner, R.V. Wakefield, said he was training the dog "off leash" when the dog got too close to the road and was hit.

Police are looking for a white Ford F150 pickup with a camper shell.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Kernersville Police Department.


RIP, Jake. :1222423:
