SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) – Chucky, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office K9  killed in the line of duty will be remembered at a service at 10 this morning at Community Bible Church.

Fire trucks will be positioned on overpasses at Nakoma and Highway 281, Donella and Highway 281 and Gold Canyon and Loop 1604.

Pipes and drums will play as a horse-drawn carriage transports Chucky to the front of the church.

The indoor service will feature a video presentation, words of remembrance from Chucky’s handler and Sheriff Javier Salazar,  and a presentation of citations.  A committal service will take place outside after the presentation indoors.
