MASON, MI — There is a happy ending to the story out of Mason involving a police dog and his handler. Former Mason Police Officer Hayden Wildfong was reunited with his former K-9 partner Tamarack on Wednesday afternoon at the Ingham County Animal Control and Shelter, according to shelter officials.
Wildfong surrendered Tamarack when he resigned from the Mason Police Department last month. The former officer resigned while under investigation for violating departmental policy.
Mason City officials first offered the opportunity for another officer to partner with Tamarack, but no other department official responded to the offer. Meanwhile, Wildfong was seeking return of the dog to his personal care. Now Tamarack’s future has been settled once and for all.
