A K-9 officer at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office is into the Elite 8 and needs your votes to become the “Top Dog” among sheriff’s offices across the state.
This week, Rex is facing off against Tank, who works for the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office. There are only four head-to-head matchups among the 8 dogs left in the competition.
As of this weekend, Rex is neck and neck with Tank, with both dogs sharing nearly identical vote totals.
