Meet Buford, K-9 Extraordinaire
August 6, 2009
My posts have been a little few and far between this week because I’m working at the community festival surrounding the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement.
Today, I was honored to meet Buford, one of Canton’s finest. (And I apologize, Buford, for the smeary picture – not sure what happened. Let’s just say we are digitizing your face so you don’t blow your undercover status!)
Hard at work protecting and serving the populace of Canton, 7-year old Buford rides with Patrol Officer Gilmore of the Canton Police Department.
I think Buford was a little disappointed when he got out of the car ready to work, and only got his picture taken instead of using his training and skills.
Canton’s K-9 force consists of 11 dog/officer pairs. They are used for search and rescue, bad-guy tracking, and drug sniffing.
Average annual cost of food:Â $300
Average cost of dog acquisition and training:Â $15,000
Sleeping better at night knowing Buford is on the job:Â priceless!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Friday Funny: Mass for a dog
June 26, 2009
Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day, the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and said, “Father, my dog is dead. Could ya’ be sayin’ a mass for the poor creature?”
Father Patrick replied, “I’m afraid not. We cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there is a new denomination down the lane, and there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do something for the creature.”Muldoon said, “I’ll go right away Father. Do ya’ think $5,000 is enough to donate for the service?”
Father Patrick exclaimed, “Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn’t ya’ tell me the dog was Catholic?”
