\"RunningDog\"<\/a>Okay, M@ reminded me of a story.\u00a0 Back when I was in K9, when things were “in black and white” as a snarky friend once observed, a handler from a nearby agency told me about something that happened to him one night.<\/p>\n

It seems that at this particular department, they found a novel use for the K9 teams.\u00a0 During narcotic buys-busts, a handler and dog would be hidden in the trunk of the undercover car. \u00a0When the narc dicks up front had completed a drug deal, they would give a short honk on the horn and, Surprise!, the K9 team would pop out to apprehend any runners. \u00a0Sounds fun, right?<\/p>\n

One muggy Florida night, the handler was sweating his (fill in the body part<\/em>) off in the trunk. \u00a0Remember, dogs don’t cool by perspiring, they pant. \u00a0Anyway, blind and mostly deaf in the non-passenger compartment, the officer-half could hear a deal in progress.\u00a0 The dog was just panting.<\/p>\n

While the pharmaceutical negotiations were taking place, the UC car got made and a crowd gathered. \u00a0The handler could hear a commotion outside. Suddenly, a few rocks were thrown. \u00a0Boom, boom!\u00a0 as rocks pelted sheet metal.\u00a0 The UC driver gassed it to escape.<\/p>\n

Back in the hot box, the handler thought the car had been hit by gunfire and they were now fleeing for their lives. \u00a0He told me that in a moment worthy of an episode of Scooby-Doo, he and his canine partner held on to each other for dear life!\u00a0 Roh-Noooo!\u00a0 They bounced around, trapped and helpless.<\/p>\n

Several blocks away, the UC’s pulled over and opened the trunk lid. \u00a0Of course, the pooch jumped out happily. \u00a0The handler then clambered out and stalked off.\u00a0 F—ck this, he snorted. \u00a0And it was the last time their unit ever did that kind of detail…<\/p>\n
