We recognize accomplishments of Franklin dogs, especially in the area of service to the community.

More than 30 police officer/canine teams will be welcomed by some of our famous dogs of Franklin as our local police department hosts the 2009 United States Police Canine Association Competition.

Teams will compete in events at the Fieldstone Farms softball fields starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, May 14-15. Thursday’s events will feature canine agility, obedience and suspect search. Criminal apprehension events will be on Friday.

Events start at 9 a.m. and continue into the afternoon.
