Yo, Ronni!
In January, our own Janet Jacobs did a story on Corsicana police officer Ronni Phillips and her partner Rambo, the police dog. Since I appreciate the job done by Corsicana’s finest and the rest of our police officers, her story inspired this column. Of course, I also love animals so the two fit right in.
