8:30am- At 4am on July 2, a Madera County Sheriff’s Deputy discovered his department patrol K9 escaped from the fenced yard of his home. Home surveillance footage shows the dog climbing over the top of his 6 foot kennel, and subsequently climbing over the 6 foot fence of the backyard. We are asking for the community’s help locating the dog and returning him home.
