Still think of you. your family and your FBI teammates ans we made some great drug and money seizures in the tri-state area of PA, WV and Ohio. I miss our time together. We spent many many off-duty hours training, preparing training aids, practicing search routines, acquiring your DEA licensure, preparing our dogs for national certification and became the best of friends. Soon after certifying your K9 Coco to be the first certified FBI drug detection dog, you and your family were immediately transferred to New York City. Your ultimate dream was to establish the FBI K9 division - and that has come to exist!
