Chance

by Lindsie from Connecticut

My dog Chance is my hero. Chance is a German Shepard and has been my dog since I was four. He was a canine officer at the Seymour Police Station. He had to go through several years of training to work for the police. My dad and my dog graduated from the training in 1997.

Chance and my dad have worked at the Seymour Police Station for almost eight years. He helped solve many crimes. When there was a crime where you needed to find someone, Chance would go on a "track." A track is when you go looking for what is missing or what you need to find. For example, if someone robbed a bank and they got away, Chance would go on a track and look for the person. The dog was very helpful because when they needed someone to smell or find something he was always there.

Chance and my dad participated in the Canine Olyimpics in 1998.
