Great Video.? Brought me back to the days when I was trying to get on the K9 Unit.? One had to be an agitator to qualify.? Well, I am good at agitating, LOL!? Anyway, I worked with the dogs a couple times.? At the time,?LAPD had GSD's, Rotties and a couple Mals.? This was also back in the day when dogs could actually bite and not just do a bark and hold.? The bite suit is heavy and hot.? But, when those dogs take you down you appreciate the padding of that suit.? The Rotties were the hardest for me.? They come in low and fast.? They are heavy and you cannot stay standing when you get hit by a Rottie.? It was actually fun to be an agitator.? Something I will always regret in my career.? I got badly injured on the job (not by the dogs) and never did get to be on the K9 unit.?
