The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office retires K-9 Toby. K-9 Toby, an English Springer Spinal, was a trained bomb dog for the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office for 10 Years. K-9 Toby was the Worcester County Sheriff’s office first bomb detection K-9. He would perform searches of the Court house in Snow Hill on regular biases. During high profile events, such as elections and the car shows held at the Ocean City convention center, Toby would scan the buildings looking for explosives making sure the building was safe for the event. K-9 Toby was a big part of his handler Deputy Dave Lewis’s family. Deputy Lewis saw that Toby was slowing down in his ability to perform his duties as a bomb detection K-9. Toby was retired and lived with Deputy Lewis’s family.
The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office purchased and trained another bomb dog named Edo, a German Sheppard. Deputy First Class Dale Trotter was selected to be his handler. Both K-9 Edo and Deputy Trotter traveled to North Carolina to receive the required training in explosive detection. K-9 Edo is also crossed trained in patrol functions such as tracking and crowd control. Both K-9 Edo and Deputy Trotter are patrolling the streets of Worcester County.

Tell me. Has this dog, or ANY "bomb-trained" dog found a single bomb in the high profile target areas of Snow hill or a car show in ten years?
English Springer Spinal
That's SPANIEL, not Spinal.

Please take good care of these dogs.
No, thats SHEPHERD. As in GERMAN SHEPHERD. Ya'll blind!
See last line identifying that the pictured dog is not the retiring dog.
Some people like to comment on things that they really have no idea about, or take time to read...as evidenced by many comments on this blog. Remember, it is better to remain a silent and thougt a fool, than open ones mouth (or write) and remove all doubt.
Dogs are preventive maintenance when it comes to bomb placement.Whether they found bombs or not in the venues mentioned is'nt the point.The point is that they deterred home grown terrorists from attempting it.When they know that these areas will be checked prior to said events,law enforcement has already deprived them of even calling in a threat.
Who you callin fool, fool? "Remain a silent"? Whats that mean? "thougt"? You da fool!
