    That’s a great idea and a nice looking pup.
    Buster needs a few more buddies to give him a hand. Escambia County is a bit large for one of him.

    K-9 Buster, you are adorable and with that Beagle nose not much will get past you.
    I hope you have a very long and successful career with ECSO.
    Hopefully, you will help greatly where needed to keep our kids and schools safe.
