Good boy! Give him a big belly rub.
Duke also knows the recipe for Bush’s Baked Beans…..
Years ago there was a scumbag that broke into a condo across the road. I had just come home for lunch and there was a huge police presence. In my back field was a K-9 and his handler trailing someone and they found the dirt ball hiding in another neighbors shed….The cop unleashed Sgt. Ruff and let him have just a bit of a taste of the burgler….yes there was a small moment of the K-9 shaking a rag doll as the burgler screamed like a 5 year old girl…..
Fontana, Ca….a shithole since the 1950’s.
If California wasn’t a sanctuary state, “Julio” would still be in Mexico, down by the school yard.
…my partner and I used to help train one with a K9 cop we knew, who would come to the firehouse and have us hide, then work the dog to find us. Nowhere was off-limits, vehicles, bunks, ceiling spaces, lockers, whatever, as long as it was on City property.
He never failed.
I’m not really sure if the dog was reacting differently because we were in uniforms or because he knew the handler was OK with us, but he would find me and just clamp whatever he could get, wrist or ankle, and tug…but never actually bit. I swear that beast was laughing at me, but I also knew that there was a LOT more reserve power in that animal, and if I’d have fought him or tried to pull away, things would have changed in a hurry. This weren’t no petting dog, this was a working animal that would light you up if it thought you were any kind of threat…unless his handler told him otherwise.
They trained in German for some reason, which made it harder to know what they were saying, I guess, but it didn’t matter if you knew the words, cause the dog knew YOU weren’t The Boss. When you were hiding it DID lend an Anne Frank in the Attic dimensions of atavastic fear to the mix as the handler shouted commands, which may or may not have been intentional, his handler wasn’t big on giving up secrets.
It WAS off-limits for the low level, unprotected training WE were doing, for us to run. We were told the dog’s trained response to THAT, after the seek command was given, would be, uh, “ungentle”. While the turnouts were tough, the dog was strong, and we didn’t want to go into fires with dog tooth holes in them, so we left THAT level of training for the pros.
The dog handler was a good cop and a nice guy. Killed himself when the job got to him. It happens, more than you know. Probably would have been better if he weren’t a nice guy, may have lived longer.
He was only worried about the dog in his note, as I heard it. Like many handlers, the dog lived with him and was there.
When another handler came to get him, he didn’t want to leave. But he did. He was a good boy.
Say a prayer for the dogs and their handlers tonight, that the Lord bless and protect both, and mentally and physically stenghthen them to the task at hand.
Then say a second prayer, that they’re never hunting YOU…
Land shark!
Damn – – nice truck!
Somebody must have jingled the car keys.
Good Boy! Give him a biscuit!
Impressive seeing a composed policeman not interfering while K9 performs assigned duties flawlessly. After several minutes of practice biting, good doggie will be ready for an upgrade exam on a human subject of the Obama son persuasion.

Yep. Fontana is like the hemerrhoid on San Bernardino’s Ass. It’s a nice place only to people moving there from the worst barrio of Tijuana.
