What better day than National Dog Day to introduce the newest members of the Caddo Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit? 

Cpl. Marcus Green is pictured with his new dog, Hunter, and Cpl. Jamie Hendrix is seen with his new dog, Chuck. Both dogs are two-year-old Belgian Malinois and will be used for narcotics detection and patrol work, according to Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

Hunter replaces K-9 Victor who passed away suddenly in March due to a medical condition. Chuck replaces K-9 Copper, who was retired from service earlier this year.

Hunter was paid for with private donations and funds from the Caddo Sheriff's Office. Chuck was purchased solely with Sheriff's Office funds. Both dogs are fully trained and currently assigned to duty.
