This dog don’t hunt, but it will track down criminals and search for missing people.
State police in the Hudson Valley say they’re getting a new bloodhound, thanks to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Troopers in Troop K, a four-county area east of the Hudson River, say the Kody Snodgrass Memorial Foundation is providing the new dog. The foundation breeds, raises and trains bloodhounds for police work with law enforcement agencies.
The latest canine addition to the trooper ranks is made possible by a grant from The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation.
According to Angie at the Kody Snodgrass Memorial Foundation, Jim Bob (photo above) is a 15-month old, 110lb “gentle giant†who is trained in scent discrimination, and ready to go to work!
