These 8 pups are joining New England’s opioid fight
Eight pups are joining New England’s opioid fight after successfully completing a narcotics detection training class in Connecticut.
The Labrador retrievers finished an 11-week course at the Canine Training Center, making them the 181st Narcotic Detection Dog Class. The dogs will now serve Connecticut communities as K9 officers able to detect heroin and Fentanyl, according to Connecticut State Police.
The dogs, whose names are Shamus, Hogan, Iowa, Yodel, Josefina, Putnam, Conner, and David, all came from the Guiding Eyes for the Blind in N.Y.
Police called the dog drug class “rigorous and intense.”
