GB PD K9 Show at the Market on Military

Drago and Pyro get to show off

The Green Bay Police K9 unit talked to market goers at the August 15th special Dog Days of Summer event at the Market on Military.

It was a great thrill to see both Drago and Pyro preform with their handlers and some were especially excited to see Pyro. After being stabbed by a bad guy this spring, Pyro looked great and there was no sign that his wounds slowed him down.
