Each of these teams, the humans, the canines, are front line warriors against crime. While others run away from danger, they run towards it, confront it and defeat it. They don’t hesitate. They rely on each other until the task at hand is accomplished, until the drugs are confiscated, the perp is in custody, the citizens safe. They are the true definition of heroes. The residents of the community, especially children, are always eager to meet them, to pet these magnificent working dogs and to ask questions of the handlers. The teams always make time to answer any questions and, to introduce the dogs to them. These are the moments that are so important to capture, share and preserve.
There are those other moments, of course, when they are called away … when a crackling radio message is received, has them dashing to their cars and speeding off, lights flashing, sirens blaring, heading down the road to give assistance to someone in need and putting their very lives on the line. Because, that’s what heroes do. As their photographer for the past six years, I am honored to be around these canines and their handlers, to memorialize their journey with images And, I get to take the hero shots!!!
