Ozzy Osbourne buys Muncie a police dog

[Billster]

Really!

 

The "Prince of Darkness," who was often shown interacting with his family's dogs on their MTV reality show The Osbournes, was recently convinced by his son and former Armed & Famous celebrity cast member, Jack Osbourne, to buy the Muncie Police Department a new K9 officer, according to MPD Sgt. Jay Turner. "Jack and Ozzy are sending the check either this week or next week and then we'll go get him," Turner said. And even though they don't have the new K9 officer in hand yet, they've already got a name picked out -- Ozzy. Ozzy will take the place of Rover, the K9 officer who is retiring this month. "(Rover) has had a phenomenal career," Turner said. The 13-year-old German Shepherd has been with the Muncie Police Department since 2000. "Most last on the streets seven to nine years," Turner said. But the time finally came when it was clear it was best for Rover that he retire. That's when Turner contacted Jack to ask if he could help the police department, he said. "We don't have any money for the dog and Jack knew that," Turner said, adding that he called and "ran the idea by him" last month. "There was no hesitation. He talked to (Ozzy) and called me back in 10 minutes and it was a done deal. (Jack) said, 'You guys have a new dog,'" Turner said with a smile. The dog is being trained at Vohne Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. The Osbournes' check for $10,000 will cover the cost of purchasing the canine.
