Thaddeus in Eureka

Thaddeus is my police K9, and this was his first vacation outing. While staying near Lake Lucerne, we seized the chance for a memorable photo. Thaddeus is a 10-year-old Dutch Shepherd, certified in Oklahoma and nationally through the USPCA, with skills to detect marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. He’s also highly trained in human tracking and fugitive apprehension.
