Here's a question for K-9 officers. Is it ever gut churning for you to deploy your beloved K-9 into a dangerous situation? And how is a K-9 handler selected?
I once read somewhere that a K-9 supervisor was leery of \"dog lovers\" becoming K-9 officers as they might hesitate to let the K-9 do what it was intended to do. I guess I'd be disqualified. :mrgreen: But I'm guessing virtually all K-9 officers literally fall in love with their K-9 partner and so perhaps any \"filtering\" process in selecting a K-9 handler goes out the window.
I'm curious to know the reality of this because it doesn't get more real than what you folks are doing.
