The Southeast Missourian asked children at Orchard Drive Elementary School for suggestions in naming the Jackson Police Department's new drug dog.
Blake Ulrich:
"Thunder, because it could find drugs very fast."
Casey Nicholas:
"Sniffer, because he sniffs out drugs."
Leah Warren:
"Barker, because he barks when he smells drugs."
Aaron Redecker:
"Buster, because he busted the bad guys when he finds drugs any place."
Matt Hart:
"Narco, because when somebody 'narcs,' they tell on somebody. When the dog finds drugs, he will tell on the bad guys."
