Meet Bo, Newport's first comfort K-9
NEWPORT, R.I. (WPRI) — The Newport Police Department's new four-legged recruit is ready to report for duty. K-9 Bo, a lovable and energetic chocolate Labrador retriever, just started his journey as a therapy and comfort K-9 in training, police said Monday. Bo is partnered up with Community Police Officer Nick St. Lawrence. They'll be focused on strengthening relationships, providing support, and connecting with city residents and visitors. Once Bo is certified as a therapy dog, he'll get additional training on detecting explosives and sniffing out danger at public events, according to police. Bo was gifted to the department by Dame Dogs Labradors of Pascoag, which provided K-9 Charley to Warwick back in 2022. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
