2008 National Night Out

Another successful National Night Out has come and gone. Team members and their canine partners were invited to participate in three different municipality events this year; visiting Wauwatosa, St. Francis, and Greenfield. Each year this gives the public the opportunity to get within face-washing-distance of our search and rescue canines and learn more about what they do, and how the dogs work with their local police and fire departments to aid in locating missing people.
