King County Sheriff Steve Strachan and a group of officers dedicated the Sheriff’s Office K-9 Memorial at its new location in Renton Wednesday.

The memorial was moved from its original location at Precinct 2 over the past year by King County Sherrif’s Office employees and volunteers.

It features 28 stones honoring police dogs from 1980 to 2005. It also features two father/son sets.

“They deserve our honor and respect,” Strachan said to the small crowd. “And they deserve to be remembered.”

The memorial is at 3511 NE 2nd St. in Renton.
