Dog-Gone Good Time at Dunsmore - Crescenta Valley Weekly

Officer Matt Wilson, Officer Kyle Heinbechner and Officer Eric Meyer take questions from the students.

On Feb. 12, the Glendale Police Department’s K-9 Unit made a special visit to Dunsmore Elementary School third graders. The third grade classes had been working on an animal helpers unit in language arts. They read a non-fiction story called “Aero and Officer Mike” about a police officer and his K-9 partner. They also read about other animal helpers.

The three dogs that visited the school were Eddie with Officer Matt Wilson, Idol with Officer Kyle Heinbechner and Jeff with Officer Eric Meyer and Sergeant Shawn Sholtis, who took pictures for the group. The three K-9 dogs listened carefully as their handlers described their jobs and answered many questions from the Dunsmore students.
