The North Huntington police department (suburb of Pittsburgh) has just received three for their dogs. I guess with those numbers, the police departments must feel they will not hamper the dogs' movements.

By the way, Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback for the Pgh. Steelers, has bought a new police dog for the K-9 officer Rocco's handler. He founded a non-profit to provide K-9 dogs and training for police departments across the country, with emphasis on Pittsburgh.


Oh Cyndy. I posted above and changed it. My immediate thought was good, GREAT....but would Crosby be safer if he wore one if he was a cop-dog?


I have thrown skepticism in the way of kindness and acted as if I didn't trust your good sense. Of COURSE they would have researched this.


I am sorry I typed that.
