Chief--Dog Number 15

Officer Bonnie Edwards of the Minneapolis Police Department was already familiar with our dogs. Her former Bloodhound, also named Chief (in honor of our friend Bill Tolhurst), was trained by us. When the original Chief had to be retired due to some health problems, Canines for Kids, Inc. was happy to bring Officer Edwards into our "'family" of handlers by donating a Bloodhound to her department. This new dog (formerly Champ) was renamed Chief to honor the dog he replaced. Chief II and Officer Edwards began their partnership in November of 2006.
