    Remember that adorable pup that Cleveland Metroparks Ranger
    Department acquired in September 2011?  That pup, Logan, has
    grown in size, talents and skills. 



    The weekly training demonstrating Logan's instincts of following
    commands that he is required to do had progressed well ahead of
    schedule.  He recently earned the dual-certification in
    narcotics tracking and search and rescue from the Ohio Peace
    Officers Training Academy as a police K-9 dog.



    �We knew Logan would be a hard-worker based on the history of
    his father, Radar, one of our current K-9's and his uncle, Rocky,
    another of our K-9's,� stated Gregory M. Loftus, chief of
    Rangers.  �All three K-9 dogs were donated to the department
    from Tom and Kathy Schmidt, founders of Buckeye Area Regional K-9
    (B.A.R. K.), and the dogs have proved to be a critical
    law-enforcement tool. 



    Logan will be out and about all summer-long at various Park
    District events. His handler, Senior Ranger Tim Garris, encourages
    park visitors to come over and say �hi� as Logan is friendly and
    enjoys the interactions.
