Comments Off on Team Michael & Riley
Every dog should have a job like Riley’s. He’s a detection dog, and he works with Deputy Sheriff Mike Osmond of the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Department. A labrador retriever with a big heart and a great nose, Riley helps Mike locate illegal drugs by sniffing for them. When the dog sniffs something suspicious, he scratches at it enthusiastically. Mike investigates and provides Riley with a food reward which makes this dog very happy! Thanks to Mike and Riley for visiting during our Preschool Storytime at the library.
