A K-9 serving a border patrol agent in Washington state was killed early Sunday when her agent slid across black ice, resulting in a tragic car accident, officials said.
The dog, named Jackie, was with her agent patrolling an area near Colville, Wash., when their vehicle hit ice on Highway 395 around 2 a.m. and lost traction — not long before the vehicle «went over a steep embankment and rolled multiple times.»
