After four years working for the San Diego County Agriculture, Weights & Measures Department, Podder the detector dog was honored Wednesday as he heads into retirement.
County staff organized a small ceremony at the Waterfront Park to acknowledge his work. His former coworker, Yeti, the county's other detector dog, and Venus, a retired detector dog, and other officials were there to give him a pat on the back, a scratch on the head and lots of treats and toys.
"In honor of Podder's service, I'd like to present this Service Award for four years of county service," said Ha Dang, commissioner/sealer for Agriculture, Weights and Measures. The Labrador and beagle mix has worked with his handler, Kyle Moranton, to intercept unmarked agricultural parcels that are shipped in violation of agricultural quarantine, or contain unwanted plant pests including insects, diseases and other harmful organisms to agriculture.
