His face has a no nonsense, upholding justice look about it.

Got the plan; waiting for the command.

18. Tthey make G. Shepherds look slow. I saw one run 1/4 mile then climb 20 Feet up a tree to catch his

"human target" in a training exercise. Just incredible animals.

Those dogs are so alert. They are well trained, fearless, loyal and determined athletes. Amazing creatures.

20. Murder mysteries featuring malinois

The Mercy Carr Mystery Series features a recovering Afghanistan veteran and her recovering military k-9 malinois. Author is Paula Munier. The relationship between dog and owner is well written. I really loved the series. I recognized a malinois last summer based on my reading of the books and googling the breed so I could better picture Elvis, the dog in the book. I was impressed but not surprised that such a dog could bring down an escaped felon.

21. Took my Scout for her rehab appointment today

and while we were waiting out walks a police officer with a magnificent Belgium Malinois. Scout was awestruck. She stood looking at him and started trembling. Kinda like me if I ever saw Brad Pitt. Scout is part Pit Bull/German Shepherd/White Swiss Shepherd.
