After years of being demonized as dangerous dogs outlawed in many municipalities by breed-specific legislation, Pit Bulls are now being sworn in as K-9 officers! What an awesome turn of events!

Good day, and good dog!

Even though the Hall of Fame game was subsequently cancelled due to poor and dangerous field conditions, it’s good to know K-9 Zayne was on the job, clearing the locker room for the Colts.

If you’re being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then onto a little seesaw, then weave through a bunch of poles. They’re trained for that.

Good day, and good dog!

Ever wonder how fast a police dog can run? Check out this short video from the Vietnam Dog Handler Association.
Notice the suspect behind the car, apparently firing a gun – you see the smoke from the muzzle, and a split second later – the Shepherd Police Dog leaps across the roof of the auto, clamps onto the suspect, and brings him down so quickly – you’ll watch it several times to really appreciate the valor of this dog.
It appears to me that this may have been a training exercise, as the “suspect” looks like he’s wearing padded gear to protect him from the dog, but whether it’s a real take-down or not, the dog is still pretty darn impressive!
Everybody now, “Bad boy, bad boy, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?”
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
