K-9 Crime Fighters
Draco is an 8-year-old, 65-pound German Shepherd
who has served in APD's K-9 Patrol for 7 years.
Originally from Czechoslovakia, he has been with his
handler, Officer DJ Lahr for 7 years.
At 65 pounds, Draco is the smallest dog in K-9 Patrol,
but he more than makes up for his small size by the
intensity of his working drives and fierce loyalty to his
handler. He loves his Kong toy and food treats and
likes to play roughly. He is a very vocal police dog and
is infamous for his howling and barking when enroute
to Patrol K-9 calls.
