Police dog competition in Redondo Beach
Police officers and canines from across California will compete in trials Saturday, May 10 at Redondo Union High School's football field.
Admission is free for the event that runs from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The school is at Pacific Coast Highway and Diamond Street.
In its 21st year, the competition includes a canine obstacle course, area searches and other activities.
For those wanting to cheer on the Redondo Beach Police Canine Team, check out the following events: Box search, 9 a.m.; obedience and agility, 10:45 a.m.; and manwork, 1:30 p.m. In the last activity -- usually a crowd favorite -- competing canine teams will demonstrate their ability to safely subdue a combative suspect.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
