See amazing police dog skills while helping a local nonprofit’s mission to protect K9s in the line of duty
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Police K9 teams from across the state will return to Jacksonville this weekend for the yearly battle to be named “Top Dog.”
The annual event – hosted by K9s United -- is Saturday, Nov. 18 from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. at the Bishop Kenny Athletic Complex .
More than a dozen K9 teams will compete in a timed obstacle course meant to mimic scenarios the dogs and their handlers could face in the line of duty. There will also be a K9 photobooth, a showcase of specialized units, food trucks, and activities for the kids.
The show of skill is all for a good cause. Money raised will go towards K9 United’s mission to provide lifesaving training and equipment to police K9s and their handlers.
This year’s competitors include:
Trooper Pubillones and K9 Rico from Florida Highway Patrol
Officer Walsh and K9 Stern from the Gainesville Police Department
Officer Stevenson and K9 Tyr from the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office
Officer Cullen and K9 Chaos from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office
Officer Boyster and K9 Kenzo from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office
