PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A police dog whose handler was one of the police officers killed in Allen back on June 30 has been reunited with his late master’s family.

Prestonsburg Police K-9 handler Jacob Chaffins was shot and killed along with Prestonsburg Police Captain Ralph Frasure, Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy William Petry and Floyd County K-9 Drago during a standoff with an armed suspect.

On Monday night, the Prestonsburg City Council took action that will allow Chaffins’ K-9, Nelson, to retire and spend the rest of his days with Chaffins’ family.

A post on the Prestonsburg Police Facebook page notes that Nelson was reunited with the family shortly afterward, causing Chaffins’ daughter Paisley to squeal with delight.
