Still No Arno, But Grand Joins South County Force
Although I was sad to hear that missing canine police officer, Arno, has not been located since his disappearance earlier this year, it was fun to hear that the city of Watsonville has acquired a new canine officer of their own. These are wonderful dogs that give their all to assist human officers in some very tough situations. And in spite of what the news article says about the dog being another tool, and an expensive one, let's face it. Grand will be able to sniff out trouble long before his fellow human officers can. He may cost more to train and maintain than some tools, but the returns will be worth every penny spent. And I'll bet his furry presence buoys up other officers. That's something you can't even put a price on.
