The Donley County Constable's
Office now has four extra feet on
patrol in Precincts 3 and 4.
A two-year-old Lab-Great Dane
mix named Diesel joined the ranks
of local law enforcement in October
and is ready to sniff out narcotics.
Constable Tony Sellers said he
first thought of the need for a canine
unit in his office after visiting with
Tanner Blackburn, who was going
to canine school for the Panhandle
Police Department.
With support from the district
attorney's office and interested
individuals, Sellers attended canine
training and obtained Diesel, who
is state and federally certified in the
detection of four different narcotic
odors. A custom badge for the dog
was provided by Kevin Johnson.
"He's already had hits on three
cars," Sellers said. "If he alerts on
a vehicle, that's probable cause to
search the car."
Sellers said the olfactory Center
(where the sense of smell is located)
makes up 20 percent of a dog's brain
compared to five percent of a human
brain.
Diesel - Constab!e Canine Unit
"He's a deterrent to drug traf-
fickers just being here," the con-
stable said.
Diesel usually stays with Sell-
ers around the clock and provides
the constable with added protection
in addition to his detection skills.
Sellers' canine unit also will be
made available to assist the Donley
County Sheriff's Office and the
Department of Public Safety when
needed, and the dog is expected to
have a career of about eight years.
