Drug dog visits Optimist Club

The Optimist Club of Rome, Georgia welcomed Sheriff's Deputy Jimmy Allred and Champ to a recent meeting. Champ, an English black lab is a drug dog in the K-9 unit and a significant member of the Floyd County Sheriff Department. I like this story for a number of reasons:

1)   It is about an Optimist Club meeting. I believe that meetings are important because they allow the attendees the opportunity to learn about relevant activities in their community.

2)   It features a working dog and everyone who knows me knows that I am a bit dog-crazy. 

3)   It was written by Chelsea Latta, a high-school intern. What better way to share the Optimist International mission of bringing out the best in kids?
