My partner in crime (prevention) goes by the name Duke LeDuc. He was born on January 29th 2017, to two presumably happy, ALLEGEDLY Labrador retriever parents. (He looks mixed) He was named in honor of Alexis LeDuc, a victim of the 911 tragedy. Alexis LeDuc was a family man, father, and avid toy collector who lost his life while working from the 97th floor of one of the twin towers. Duke who was close to one and a half when we first met in October of 2018 and began working together, is now almost seven years old. Once we graduated canine school, we returned home to Los Angeles California, stationed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), under the current guidance of federal security director Jason Pantages. During our time working together we did numerous deployments to work and/or train such as San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix, Indiana, Philadelphia, and Auburn University. In his off time Duke loves going anywhere there’s wet grass to roll in. His favorite treats are anything in crumb form that may have fallen on the floor. If he had a part time job other than bomb sniffing, it would be finding food, he’s definitely a foodie. His favorite toys are anything that squeak and so far the wubba has lasted the longest. When he’s not working, eating, sleeping, pooping, or playing, he loves singing to Bruno Mars or The Weekend.

SPONSORED BY: Paws of Honor has joined forces with Hurricane’s Heroes to help retired Military and Law Enforcement working K9s across the country receive the veterinary care they deserve! Jet (formerly known as Marley) originally lived in a Texas shelter where he faced possible euthanization early in life. Jet’s prior first family was unable to keep him for unknown reasons. Fortunately, Jet was rescued by Ginger's Pet Rescue and brought to Seattle, Washington. The Seattle shelter contacted the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, who quickly realized Jet would make a great search dog and was then picked up by The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services' Office of Fire Prevention and Control. Jet joined the State's Urban Search and Rescue Team - New York Task Force 2, which included members of state and local emergency response agencies. Jet was then later located by another K-9 Trainer and tried for explosive detection. In early 2019, Jet was then paired up with a K-9 Handler with the Auraira Campus Police Department; in late 2019, the K-9 Handler accepted a position with another agency leaving Jet. With no turn around, Yama Gafari (Auraria Campus Police Department) took over the K-9 program and was paired up with Jet. Yama and Jet had an instant bond like no other and Jet knew his forever home would be with Yama. Yama took Jet’s training back to the basics and started an official K-9 academy through the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. Jet showed great drive and determination and this was the very start of an permanent and successful career at age 6. Since then, Jet has passed all of his certifications (state, national and federal) and has loved his new job, home and family. In late 2023, Jet officially retired at almost 11 years old. Jet does not like being retired one bit as Yama goes to work without him, but Jet still has his loving family including Yama’s wife, almost 2 year old son and daughter on the way.
