    Police dog has a nose for enforcement

    Canine 'officer' Quarz brings home the prize in timed search competition


    It's too bad all rookie cops aren't as exemplary as Officer Quarz aus der Glockenbergschfereii of the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department. The young officer and German native--hence, the unusual name--is admired by his colleagues for his strength and agility, his keen physical senses, his exuberant and friendly nature and his dogged loyalty to his partner, Officer Sam Wonnell. Just recently, he proved himself further by earning first place in a search exercise in La Honda attended by other officers like himself from many law enforcement departments, mainly from the Bay Area.   More
