It's #NationalFirePupDay, so here's an appreciation post about our Arson Dogs! 🐶 • Accelerant detection canines (AKA Arson Dogs) are trained to sniff out minute traces of accelerants (gasoline, lighter fluid, etc.) that may have been used to start a fire. • All of the dogs chosen for the State Farm Arson Dog Program are Labrador retrievers or Lab mixes that are acquired through a cooperative program with guide dog and disability assistance canine organizations, as well as through local animal shelters and humane societies. As a result of their high energy and social exuberance, these dogs are career-changed from disability assistance service to crime fighting. • Pictured (in order): Pogo, Gibbs, Willow, Zoe, Dodger, Liberty, Riley, Reeves, Tyra and Sonny #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogoftheday
