Officer Murray says pups that are bred and selected for the job cost about $12,000, and not all measure up. Some are returned. |
Officer Murray tells us K-9 partners are trained to understand orders in German in order to conceal them from "perps". |
Leslie talks with Officer Parker, who handles K-9 partner, Rocco. Officer Murray handles Max, who was not present. |

Leslie, an avid animal lover, pets Rocco under the watchful eyes of Officer Parker. |
