Her name is Bibba. Today we’re doing some detection training. So initially when we respond to any kind of like bomb threat or something, we’re going to go ahead and do a scan and whenever we’re doing a scan that’s more for the dog to be able to find the explosives on her own, independently. So she has free reign pretty much to come in here and look for whatever she wants, as long as she’s kind of on her pattern. I love her. I’m really proud of her everyday. She does really good work. The training is pretty critical I believe, in my mind. Because if we’re going into an explosive area or somewhere that might be a bomb threat, they’re gonna be relying on us to be the people that call out a bomb. If we miss something, then that can be somebody’s life that’s on the line.
