K9 Vito went through his initial K9 explosives detection training at Joint Base Lackland in San Antonio, TX in 2020. After graduating, he was assigned to the Federal Protective Services based in Kansas City, Mo. After a short time in Kansas City, he was reassigned to me at the St. Louis Lambert Airport Police Department K9 Unit. It was not love at first sight, but we quickly grew to appreciate each other. Vito was always a tremendous worker with an abundance of enthusiasm and loved doing his job. We quickly grew into a very efficient team and provided explosive detection support and operations for Lambert International Airport, and the greater St. Louis region. Throughout his short career Vito in addition to providing explosives detection support, he met and interacted with lots of various professional sports teams, movie and rock stars, high ranking political figures, foreign dignitaries, and an array of Star Wars characters. While I though hanging out with a couple of Star Wars wookies was super cool, Vito was not quite sure what to make of them even though they were super nice. Vito has had chronic arthritis, inflammation and swelling in both shoulders throughout his career, which has let him to an early retirement. Since his retirement Vito has adapted excellently to home life and has become involved in every aspect of family activities. He gets lots of toy time and is always engaged with whatever is going on around the house. He is a big help with the laundry and had become a really good gym bro helping out with our daily workouts.

Canine Zeno was and is a high-drive working dog. He still loves to play retrieve and still has a very high prey drive as evidenced by the numerous times he has tried to kill our family cat. He has not adjusted well to retirement. It is plainly obvious that he was born to work and would rather be doing that. Every day is a test to exercise him mentally and physically.
