Giving Afghanistan War Dogs A New Purpose


WASHINGTON -- It was graduation day for a few tough pups. These war heroes, once precious guides for Marines in Afghanistan, will now be fighting crime locally in Prince George's County.


On Friday morning at the police department's Special Operations Division in Riverdale, six former military bomb dogs graduated after eight weeks of training as the Basic EOD (Explosive Ordnance Detection) Canine Class 14-01.

"It's an honor to say six K9s are graduating: Shaggy, Slick, Ringo, Razz, Bill and Kane. They have served this country with great heroism in the United States Marine Corps as IED detection K9s," says Corporal Jeff Walden with Prince George's Police K9 Unit. He was the head trainer for the new graduating class of bomb dogs for the county.
