Bold dogs are in demand to fight crime. Jay the German shepherd serves as a city police dog and Angel the Labrador works with U S Customs sniffing drugs. Each dog teammates with a human partner and begins training around age two.
Angel the U S Customs dog trains at a Front Royal Virginia facility where all customs dogs are taught. Only one in five completes the 14 week program.
