Mono County Sheriff's K-9 Razor will be mourned in a department only service to be held soon. Razor, a 2-year-old black German shepherd was born in the Czech Republic and purchased using a grant as part of the Mono County Narcotics Enforcement Team. He and his handler, Deputy Ruben Ortiz, were in Riverside for training on Feb. 7 when they became separated for a short time. Ortiz found and called for Ranger, who was struck and killed by a car when he responded. The pair had worked together since July 2006. The Mono County Sheriff's Department is deciding whether to purchase another dog.
