Two dogs are among the newest government employees of Boulder County. Ares, a 1½-year-old German Shepherd, is the newest K-9 recruit of the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and Marlow, a 2-year-old golden retriever lab mix, is the most recent furry friend to be hired by the District Attorney’s office to help in victim services. While the two dogs could not be more different in their jobs, they reflect the continued presence of K-9 support in law enforcement agencies. ‘He’s very good at comforting people’ Ares, who is currently going through the academy, is being trained for certification in patrol and narcotics detection.
