K9 Zeke takes his talents to the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office The Bucks County Sheriff’s Office is home to an energetic black labrador retriever named “Zeke.”
DOLYESTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — An energetic black labrador retriever named Zeke has taken his talented nose to the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office.
There, he and his handler, Christina Brewerton, make up some of the first members of their K9 Unit.
After Zeke was recovered from animal cruelty and malnourishment, Deputy Christina Brewerton finds him to be a treat to work with.

Local canines of Czech origin put on an exciting show at the Czech Republic embassy in D.C. on Sunday.
The dogs, Rey and Bolo, are members of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office K9 unit. They were born in Europe, but trained here.
Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputy Zach Buttrey, who has been a member of the K9 unit for 14 years, said the dogs have been part of the embassy open house for the past few years.
On Sunday, Rey and Bolo, both a Belgian Malinois-German Shepherd mix, showed off how they track and even how they attack on command.

“The dogs are great. They’re very smart, very loyal, very protective, and they are the ultimate working dog because they want to work,” Buttrey said.
Buttrey led off the demonstration by having someone from the crowd toss a flashlight onto the grassy hillside outside the embassy. It didn’t take Rey long to sniff it out.
“Right now she’s looking for human odor,” Rey’s handler said.
Then it was time for Bolo’s appearance. He sat, patiently waiting for the order to attack the padded sleeve Buttrey had slid onto his arm. The dog whined and tugged — and only stopped once Buttrey pulled his arm out of the sleeve. The crowd applauded the K9 as it shook its target back and forth with its mouth.
Buttrey said a demonstration like this one “shows the public how helpful the K9s are, whether it’s to locate a suspect, locate a missing person, find some evidence, (or) search a building for someone.” He calls the K9s a great resource for assisting law enforcement.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has five K9 dogs and two therapy dogs. They live with their human partners and are ”family dogs when they’re not working,” Buttrey told the crowd.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – UPDATE: Douglas County sheriff’s office confirms they are searching the landfill potentially connected to Cari Allen’s case.
—————-
Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies were at the home of a missing Omaha woman on Wednesday morning, wrapping up their search just before noon.
It’s Day 4 of the search for 43-year-old Cari Allen.

“We are constantly searching based on tips that we receive,” Douglas County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Wayne Hudson told 6 News.
6 News saw a K-9 unit search Stolley Prairie near 168th Street between Blondo Street and West Dodge Road.
Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies conducted a search Wednesday morning, Nov. 23, 2022, near the home of a missing Omaha woman.
Stolley Prairie is 24 acres — a lot of ground to cover. The 43-year-old missing woman lives nearby, in a neighborhood near 168th and Blondo streets. She was last seen in that area late Saturday night.
After an hour of following the tree lines, there was no sign of her, so investigators said they were off to the next search area. 6 News spotted more investigators on the other side of 168th Street, under West Dodge Road — a known dumping ground that’s well hidden.
“I think they should search here because that is a place that’s isolated and alone,” said jeri Whitmarsh of Omaha. “You don’t know if she came down here or someone brought her here — that would be sad.”
Meanwhile, back at Allen’s home, lab techs removed envelopes of possible evidence. A tow truck driver also collected the dark sedan in the garage for closer inspection back at headquarters.
Authorities removed a car from a home in west Omaha while conducting a search for Cari Allen.
Investigators have said very little about Allen’s disappearance, other than she was last seen around 11 p.m. Saturday by her home.
On Monday night and into Tuesday morning, Douglas County investigators, with the help of the Topeka Police Department, executed a search on a home in Kansas. Nebraska investigators told 6 News it was connected to the Allen case.
A K-9 unit was also involved in that search.
No one came to the door in Topeka when police there asked. The home belongs to a man by the name of Aldrick Scott.
The connection to the two locations was seemingly made after an odd 9-1-1 call Monday night that came from a third party in Texas, according to WIBW, our sister station in Topeka. Dispatch mentioned a code that means dead body.
Investigators carried evidence from the Kansas home, but there was no sign of Scott — or Allen, so the mystery remains separated by 150 miles for now.
