Fraser is a patrol/ narcotics dog. He tracks, apprehends, locates articles (gun thrown in a field) etc. and then he is trained in marijuana, heroin, cocaine, and meth.

Even though I know how it works, it blows my mind every time he does it.

Except Fraser will never be able to work undercover again.

Always loved service dogs of all types. POTUS has nothing to worry about with your partner patrolling the perimeter around AF1.

Despite my political views, one of the coolest things is being apart of AF1 and the presidential detail. It's unbelievable how secure he is.

Interstates shut down both directions, snipers everywhere, helicopters constantly circling. Very very well planned and awesome to see in person.

Great dogs...I'm sure it's a blast doing work with him!

Love my GSD and think it'll be a breed I'll have for a very long time.

He does great with our cats. We just had to slowly introduce them.

Its pretty cool. He has a tattoo in his ear of his "serial number" and everything.
All dogs (and a lot of other animals) go via Lufthansa into the US

They are the only carrier that transport animals

Why . . . no clue at all - tried them all but no go . . .

I just know that flying my biggest buddy Baron (retired racing Greyhound) ticket from Brussels to LAX was about 1500 bucks . . .

A good K9 is better than a human partner. They will ALWAYS back you up and NEVER rat you out.

I've seen these police dogs train while working side by side with the police force back in the days and they are just amazingly smart but intimidating at the same time. Love them.

I just recalled years ago going to a Laker game back when they played the Forum and next to the building was a K-9 unit car with the window down in the back. As I walked by I saw there was no officer but sitting in the back was a German Shepard. He was without his handler and the window was completely open. It surprised me to the extent that I momentarily stopped right there outside the rear window and looked at him. He just calmly looked at me, no excitement whatsoever. Needless to say I didn't test his level of training by sticking my hand in the window or teasing him, LOL, and just moved on. But I was quite impressed by his composure whereas most civilian dogs would be barking their heads off at me if not jumping through the window to get at my throat.

What it told me was this dog was both well trained and had no fear.

Nice GSD. Here is my 'Malingator', doing what she does best now. Catching frisbees :)

Woops, looks like my image from Google didn't come out. Here she is :)

Dad and Mom were both Police K9's. She's a house dog with a lot of training and energy after 6 years.
