Very Good Boy: Police Dog Takes Down Kidnapping Suspect in Florida
The Pasco Sheriff’s Office praised the work of a K9 and deputy for arresting a man who tried to kidnap a child in New Port Richey, Florida, on September 17. Police said the chase began after Sergeant Ferguson and a K9 named Titan responded to a call for battery and the attempted kidnapping at a residence.
