A stray dog discovered down south is now sworn to serve and protect in Delaware County. The police K-9 had a shaky start, but is on a remarkable journey from stray to in demand narcotics K-9.
Radnor Township’s narcotics dog, Onyx, has come a long way since being found as a stray in Louisiana at five months old. His handler, Officer Brett Greaves, says he was in sorry shape."He was mangy. Probably 50 or 60 pounds. So, he’s definitely bulked up since he was a sight," Officer Greaves said.Onyx wound up at Char-Wills German Shepherd Rescue, in Schuylkill County.
He came and said I have got a dog I rescued and he said this dog has the drive to be an excellent police K-9," Superintendent Flannagan explained.After being assessed by a veterinarian and the Philadelphia K-9 Unit, in December 2019, Officer Greaves and Onyx went through six months' training – first patrol school and then narcotics. They were on the streets working by June 2020.
