K9's and Fireworks


Saturday Bill and I took the family (dad, mom, gerry, nick, elise & Jenny) to the 21st Annual Police K9 show in Anaheim. It was a really good time, and i think that my family really really enjoyed it.

At the K9 Show they run through skits to show the audience why police dogs are important and how they are use in the field. A couple of things the dogs are trained for are the following:

Finding Suspects
Finding Drugs
Finding explosive material
Finding Guns

These are just some the of the things these important dogs do. It was actually really neat to see the dogs in action. The dogs don't seem like they are that powerful, but once you let them loose to run after a "suspect" they go full force on dragging them down to their knees. These dogs bite down and don't want to let go. they bite and shake (which always reminds me of sharks) its that type of aggressions that makes these dogs fearful. Let me just say i would rather give up then have the police send in their dogs, because there is no escaping a well trained K9.

After the K9 show was done they had all the Orange County Helicopters fly by, that was pretty cool but i wish they could have landed or done more tricks but it was a small stadium which wouldn't allow that. To end the evening they had a very impressive Fireworks show that lasted a good 20 mins i would say. All and all the evening was a success!
