Great Job!
Sgt. McCann and Vickie, Cpl. Ottey and Buddy, Cpl. Herrera-Cruz (support runner), and MPO Dykstra and Spud joined over 60 teams and participated in this year’s Iron Dog Run on April 16, 2026. Teams competed in 14 obstacles that included hill climbs, dog carry, K-9 first aide, K-9 detection, and more.
Hosted by the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Region 3 and Montgomery County Police Department, Iron Dog is an event that tests the handlers and their K-9s, while raising money for Spike’s K-9 Fund. Every donation directly supports equipping, healing or honoring working dogs. To learn more, visit https://spikesk9fund.org/
We are so proud of our Explosives Detection K-9 team members that participated in this year’s Iron Dog Run.
