PAW PAW (WKZO-AM) — Van Buren County’s newest police dog has begun training.
Blitz, a 2-year-old German Shepherd Malinois mix raised in Europe, was purchased by the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office from a Detroit-based K9 supplier. The purchase was authorized recently by county supervisors.
When he completes his training, Blitz will replace Goliath, who lost a battle against cancer in January.
Goliath had been with the force for a decade.
