~Law Dogs Today~
Some of our best hard working Law Enforcement K9s are PitBulls. The dog above is a Detection dog and works at one of the largest K9 Units in the nation in Washington, the Washington State Patrol Detection Dog Program. Officer Neville (the dog) risks his life daily. He screens over 200 cars a day on the Washington State Ferry system to keep us safe from bombs. To learn more about the hell this dog had went through before becoming a Law Enforcement Dog then go to www.pitbulladvocate101.com/NoteABull.php and to find out more on "Heroic" PitBulls, "Famous" PitBulls, and PitBulls and "Advertising". The reason why they use PitBulls is because they believe that PitBulls are America's Greatest Working dog because PitBulls have courage and are greatly determined to stick to a dangerous task. Also the PitBulls athletic build and determination to get the job done makes these breeds the best canadate for detection.
