Patrick O'Connor shares his experiences working with police dogs in the Austin Police Department's canine division, revealing the deep bonds formed with his partners Tex and Murph and the life-saving work they performed together.

• Police dogs work primarily as locating tools with extraordinary scent capabilities that function at parts per billion
• German Shepherds, Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds are selected for their drive, intelligence, and physical abilities
• Handler-dog bonds take 1-3 months to establish with the relationship growing stronger over years of partnership
• Police dogs can reach speeds of 30-35 mph and are often more effective than technology at finding suspects
• The dogs serve as powerful negotiation tools with 97% of arrests occurring without physical engagement
• Dogs undergo extensive training to work in diverse environments and maintain calm during gunfire and chaotic situations
• Retirement is an emotional transition as dogs move from active service to family pets
• The bomb detection unit uses different breeds like Labradors and Spaniels for their specialized capabilities
