09.29.2007 -- LawDog K9 Moto (formerly Mikey) has won a prestigious award from the Washington State Veterinarian Medical Association. He is this year's recipient of the WSVMA Animal Hall of Fame "Professional" Division award. K9 Moto over came severe abuse to become one of the Washington State Patrol's most beloved narcotics detection dogs. Congratulations to Moto and to his wonderful handler. Ironically, this award was presented to K9 Moto and his handler in Yakima, where American Pit Bulls are BANNED! You can draw your own conclusions about the worth of bans which work to kill dogs like K9 Moto.
Moto will be displayed on the WSVMA webpage for the next year. Thanks to Moto, his handler Trooper Jason Knott, the WSP trainers and the veterinarians at Steamboat Animal Hospital who nominated K9 Moto.
