Dog Notices Concerning Detail On A Hiking Trail And Jumps Into Action

From kibble and walks to the occasional table scraps, pampered household pups get almost everything their hearts desire. Some canines, however, aren't content sitting on the couch and living a life of luxury. They want to head out into the world and get to work, and one man in Michigan is especially thankful for working dogs. He could have faced a terrible fate if one loyal police dog hadn't sprung to action onr fateful December night.

From dreams to nightmares

As anyone living there could tell you, the city surrounding St. Clair River in Marysville, Michigan, lives up to its nickname of "Dream City." But even the most perfect dream can turn into a nightmare if you're not careful, and that's exactly what happened in Marysville.

One special officer

Thankfully, Marysville residents have a loyal police department on hand, which is always ready to keep everyone safe. There's one special member of the force, however, who does his own part to take a bite out of crime.

Officer Heiko

Beyond its human officers, the Marysville Police Department also employs Heiko. While the dog might look cute and cuddly, he plays an important part in local law enforcement efforts.

Always on guard

As a specially trained police canine, Heiko would take part in standard patrols in and around Marysville. But no two days were the same; he and his human partners never knew what would happen next.
