As the world watches the athletes take the center stage, there is another international all-star team working behind the scenes to watch over the safety of the Olympic Games in Paris. Call it an international effort to protect an international effort, perhaps, or a gold medal winner in the category of very good dogs.
Police and bomb-sniffing dogs from New York City and the UAE are on the scene in Paris to assist with the competition’s security. And as one expert in the subject of police dogs pointed out, this is not an everyday occurrence.
“It’s rare that we send our dogs internationally,” said John Pappas, who previously headed the canine unit for NYPD’s transit department.
This year, the Summer Olympics is bringing together some of the world’s best at their chosen discipline in the city of Paris. And in this case, we’re not talking about the athletes. Instead, the local police have brought in a number of police dogs from all over the world to help keep the City of Light safe.
