County Sheriff Terry Guenot and Rikor, a 6-year old German shepherd
were on hand to demonstrate the dog’s abilities. Rikor’s training
has enabled him to become certified in obedience, patrol work
and tracking (which involves finding someone based on footprints
and signs of trampled grass, twigs, etc.). The dog has also been
specially trained to attack on command and to sniff out many
different drugs, including marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines
and Ecstasy. (photos by Donna Webb)
