K9 Heroes

February 17, 2020 by Melanie

The reality based TV show franchise including Live PD, Live PD Wanted, Live Rescue and Top Dog (competition for K9 dogs and their handlers) runs on one channel or the other almost  24-7.   The shows are hugely popular with avid fans glued to each episode.

While many of the PD officers have become very well known over the years the programs have been running,  so too have the K9 “officers” and their human partners.  It is amazing what these dogs do and how fast the criminals, suspects or those trying to avoid arrest capitulate when a K9 and its teeth become involved.

Sometimes all it takes is a few barks and a loud growl to have the perpetrator crawling out of the bush!

When K9 officer “Reno” was stabbed during a take down … right on Live PD … social media basically exploded.  Everyone wanted to know how Reno was doing,  what exactly had happened, what his injuries were and if he was alive.   The  details?   He was stabbed twice.  Required 69 sutures.  He is alive and has healed, but because of the seriousness of his injuries was retired from the force.    Read more about Reno’s heroic journey HERE.

The bottom line?  K9s are now an important part of our society.  They are loved or hated depending on what side of the law you are on.   They serve in many ways:  search and rescue, take downs, narcotics detection, bomb detection and more.

Here Are The Top K9 Authors With Their K9 Stories

Warning — good and loving humans  as well as mean and nasty humans may be involved!
