After several days of voting, the public has spoken. Cass County's newest K-9 is named Britton, after Shane Britton, the county's only in the line of duty death.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office began a contest to name the 8-week old female puppy.

She will join K-9 Nellie and Deputy Graves to be trained to trail lost, missing and endangered persons.

The other options for her name included Shay (short for Shane) and Ryce, in honor of Jimmy Ryce and his family that donated the pup.
