When you think police dog you usually imagine a German Shepherd. Those of you who follow our Facebook page remember we shared a photo of Kiah, the first ever Pit Bull in New York’s Police Force, but the full story goes much deeper than just breed stereotypes.
When the Poughkeepsie Police Department decided they needed a K9 officer, rather than going to a German Shepherd breeder/trainer, they want to a shelter. There they found Kiah, who was brought there after she was found abandoned in a parking lot and they transformed her into a top crime fighting dog.
