In tonight's Good News Guarantee, we learn about an organization that looks after the nation's K-9s long after they retire from duty.
Suzi is a TSA employee, on the job at Chicago's Midway Airport. She sniffs the air currents to detect explosive materials. The 8-year-old German Shepherd doesn't think twice about her role protecting travelers.
"I've had her since she was about 18 months old," said Justin Wolfschlag, Suzi's handler. "She's part of the family." That's why Wolfschlag was elated when he learned all of Suzi's medical care would be paid for by the national nonprofit "Project K-9 Hero.""No one was there to help these working dogs once they get out of service. Their medical care, that's not taken care of by the agencies they serve, it's up to the handler, whoever adopts the dog," Johnson said.
For Suzi, it means she'll receive the top-notch medical care she deserves after a decade serving our country. Jason Johnson, Project K-9 Hero founder, emphasized the commitment of these K-9s: "They raise their paw without hesitation; they will give their life for you and I, they will give their life for their partner. I'm trying to change the way we as a government or we as a society look at these dogs, and I want to make sure they're taken care of for generations to come."The organization also has a kennel in Tennessee where they care for retired dogs without homes.
