Introduction
My name is Kudzu. I’m a German Shepherd Dog who works in law enforcement as part of a team. My partner’s name is Deputy Tom Jennings.
I’m also called a canine. That’s spelled c-a-n-i-n-e. When I’m working with Tom, I’m known as a “K-9,” but that’s with the letter “K” followed by the number “9.”
Tom takes his work too seriously. I’m always trying to get him to play with me.
My most fun activity is playing with my blue ball.
Since I’ve been working as a K-9 for fourteen years—that’s two years in people time—I’ve learned a lot about the way police officers do their jobs.
Today I’m going to share with you some of the vocabulary words I’ve learned while helping police officers.
I’ll introduce the words to you in alphabetical order.
Have fun learning.
