The Livingston County Conservation Agent is now a K9 Handler. Corporal Caleb Pryor recently completed extensive training with his dog, a German Shorthair Pointer named Zara. Pryor says Conservation Agents are law enforcement officers.
The dog is also trained to detect wildlife, including in vehicles. Pryor says this is important if the person has taken an animal out of season.
Pryor says the training started earlier this year.
Zara is also trained for Public Relations and is very good with other animals and children.
