The Watertown Police Department will be welcoming Thera (pronounced Terra) Dakota to its K-9 Unit after she completes four more weeks of training with officer Kirk Ellis in Alabama.
Thera Dakota is a Malinios and just shy of 2 years old. She comes from the Czech Republic. Officer Ellis has commented to Police Chief Jo Vitek that Thera works hard and with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. Every morning she greets Ellis by standing on her hind legs and walking and dancing to him about 40-50 feet!
Thera comes to the department after the sad loss of police dog Hondo who served Watertown for nearly three years.
The Watertown Police Department wholeheartedly thanks the Watertown Community Foundation for its grant from the Endres Donor Fund and other donors for making Thera possible.
