Dex is one of the best trackers in the department with multiple person and evidence finds. His partner says one of their best accomplishments in tracking was locating a suspect on a mile-long track through an urban environment. Dex carries his Tasmanian type energy home and is described by his partner as a bull in a china shop having chewed many couch pillows and constantly knocking things over. Despite this his Handler says he is deeply loved by he and his family!

Today’s canine of the day is Sandor. Here is what his partner has to say about him, my partner Sandor is a shepherd. He was born in Holland on March 25th 2014 and began his career with Dothan in December of 2016. Sandor loves tennis balls but pops them,”Quick, fast and in a hurry”. When Sandor is at work he is all business but when he is home he is a big teddy bear that wants to lick you to death and play. Long story short, Sandor is my best friend and the most loyal partner anyone could ask for.

Today’s dog of the day is canine Paul. Here is what his partner says about him, At work Paul is a hard worker and full of energy. Paul loves his job and would spend everyday at work if he could.

He is a goofy gentle giant and is my best friend.
