Argo helps teach public about RCMP service dogs

Would you do your job with only meals and the love of your partner as payment?

That’s what the police dogs on the Grande Prairie RCMP force do every day.

Dog handler Corporal Troy Raddatz and his service dog Argo were at Petland today to let the public in on what he does for the community.

“Argo’s been involved in thousands of dollars of drug seizures, he’s found missing people, he’s apprehended numerous dangerous criminals in Grande Prairie, and he’s just happy to go to work every day for the cost of a couple bowls of dog food.”

Donations to the Canadian Police Canine Association are being collected at the pet store throughout the month of April, which is National Service Dog Month.
