This past weekend, while movie stars walked the red carpet inside the Golden Globes, Officer Sean Portillo and his trusted partner, K9 Deco, were working just as hard—right outside under the bright lights and high stakes ⭐️🚔 In a single evening, this dedicated team completed an incredible 320 explosives-detection sweeps on vehicles entering the area, quietly standing guard to keep event staff, media, celebrities, and guests safe. No applause, no cameras—just focus, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to public safety. Moments like these remind us that true heroes don’t always wear tuxedos. Sometimes they wear a badge and walk on four paws. We’re proud to support our partner agencies and grateful for teams like Sean and Deco who work tirelessly behind the scenes to protect our communities. Outstanding job! 👏🐾 #k9deco #policek9 #workingdogs #BehindTheScenesHeroes #CommunitySafety

🐾 “Between the trenches and the horizon of peace, there walked some of the quietest heroes…” During the First World War, specially-trained dogs known as ‘mercy dogs’ or casualty dogs were sent into the worst zones of no man’s land to find wounded soldiers, carry water and first-aid supplies, and even stay with those dying so they wouldn’t be alone.  These dogs wore saddlebags, Red Cross markings, and walked a path of service and sacrifice that paved the way for modern working dogs like our tracking and scent-work champions. Tomorrow, on Armistice Day, we will honour all working-dogs in service — from battlefield companions to police and rescue K9s. Stay tuned. 🐶 If you have a dog who helps others (therapy, rescue, tracking) — share their story below and let’s honour their work together. #WarAnimalHeroes #MercyDogs #WorkingDogs #DogTraining #FabulousFinn #ThinBluePaw #ServiceDogs #Remembrance #WWI
