Austin Independent School District
Police K-9 Valco & Officer Donofrio
Valco is a two-year-old Belgian Malinois and he has just partnered up with Officer Belinda Donofrio in early 2006.  Valco is a patrol K-9 and is also trained to detect the nitro cellulose powder found in firearms and some explosives devices.

Apparently, Valco would rather play with his Kong toy than sleep or eat.  Officer Donofrio says "If there's not a human to toss the Kong around for him, he'll do it himself."
