The Defiance Police Department in Ohio has welcomed Sarge, a nine-week-old golden retriever puppy, as its newest member.
The puppy will work alongside School Resource Officer Adam Kunz at Defiance High School and Middle School, providing comfort and emotional support to students and staff.
Sarge’s arrival was made possible through a donation from Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 3360, which covered the full cost of the puppy after the department’s previous school K-9, Mojo, retired. As Sarge grows, he will receive specialized training in drug and explosive detection, evidence searches and tracking. Officials hope he will help strengthen relationships between students and law enforcement while supporting school safety.
