Chelan County Connection!
He's 3 years old with a spotted tongue. He's a "goofy boy" who howls at sirens. And he'll do anything for a ball. Meet K9 Kato, our new narcotics-detecting canine at the Chelan County Regional Justice Center. Corrections Deputy Skyler Silsby talks about his new job as Kato's handler. The pair are only the second canine team at the jail -- and Kato has one find already! Learn about Deputy Silsby, Kato and how the two are doing just four months into their new job! Just a heads up -- Kato jumps in at the end of the video. Listen in and make a Chelan County Connection! @ChelanCountyGov
