For Pet’s Sake: Dogs with Jobs. One of the main areas in which dogs work today is in law enforcement. In the face of danger, ordinary dogs often become heroes, but these dogs are police dogs doing police work. They are dogs with jobs and they’re back by popular demand! Join us as we welcome the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Canine Unit and their handler to our library! Hear how puppies are picked to be police dogs and find out where they come from. How are they trained to do such dangerous work? Learn how they “take a bite out of crime” and along with teamwork, protect our community! After an information session, there will be a K-9 demonstration with the handler, weather permitting. No registration required. Bring a lawn chair if you wish to be seated. Disclaimer: Should the Canine Unit have an emergency at the time of the program, the program will be cancelled.
