Capt. Dargo!

We got to meet an awesome police dog this week! Captain Dargo is with the York City Police Force and is a specially trained canine who can do everything from locating bombs to finding a missing child. Not only is his nose super sharp, so is his mind! Captain Dargo was definitely a joy to meet and hear about, and his partner Lieutenant Godfrey did a great job describing not only what Captain Dargo does, but also his personality. (Apparently Captain Dargo likes getting chicken, bacon, and other various treats at the local market, and is very spoiled there!)  Captain Dargo does visits throughout the county to get people familiar with him and his unique abilities. Here is his facebook page, check it out! https://www.facebook.com/K9Dargo I really enjoyed having Captain Dargo here, and I hope to have him visit again! This is a cool program that encourages cross-promoting with an important public presence and figure, and is something I would encourage other librarians to consider doing in their libraries! Service animals have so much to teach us and are appealing to a wide audience.
Dawn states: Service cats: not a thing because everyone knows cats do what they want.
