FLORENCE, Texas — Police Chief Jeff Dever said he didn't have a hard time picking his new police dog this year from among canines of more than 30 breeds.
"Stash and I just got along the best," Dever said, as he handed the spunky chocolate Labrador retriever a toy.
Stash and Dever completed the handler's training and drug detection courses in August. The 3-year-old dog and Dever make up Florence's first full-time police K-9 unit. Last year, the city had a part-time officer with a drug dog, but the officer and the dog left the department this year.
