News - Career Changes
A Career in Law Enforcement
Eli (on left) was not a member of the BCCEPC, but was purchased from The Seeing Eye by the Hopatcong Police Department to be partnered with Officer Thomas Snyder. Eli will take over K9 duties from Rosco, who passed away recently, and has an interesting career ahead of him. He'll sniff out and alert his partner when he finds illegal drugs stored at a suspect location or being transported via person or vehicle. We thought this would be an interesting read for our members at this website link.
In an another story from 2011, if a K9 police, or search and rescue, dog is intentionally killed by someone, it is a criminal offense that carries a 5 year mandatory prison term with no chance of parole and up to $15,000 in fines under a law overwhelmingly passed by the Assembly and Senate. The measure went into effect in New Jersey as of June 2011 when Governor Christie signed it and you can read the story here.
Please read about Dusty under Adored Pet To Be below and the new law passed to protect guide dogs, handlers and pups in training.
Ariane - Career Change
Ariane was released from the program and has become a certified K-9 Cadaver Officer in Pennsylvania.
We wish her well in all her adventures.
Dusty aka Pouncey: Oct 20, 2009 - 2/19/21
Dusty became a precious pet due to circumstances far beyond his control or that of his raisers, Sheila and Roger. He was viciously attacked by an untethered neighborhood dog and emergency medical care was required for both dog and raiser.
But it doesn't end there - this frightening. brutal and unprovoked incident became fuel for the fire that burns in us to turn evil into good; a bill was penned by his raiser and proposed as a New Jersey amendment making it a criminal offense when a guide dog, their partner, a raiser or a pup in training are attacked. Dusty's Law was passed by the Senate in December 2012. Thank you & RIP, Dusty!
