PARKLAND, FLA. (WSVN) - A police dog named to honor one of the Parkland victims is the first in Southern New Jersey to patrol a school.
Meadow, a 2-year old Dutch shepherd, is named after Meadow Pollack, one of the 17 students killed in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school.
The K-9 is trained to sniff out guns and ammo and to identify and attack an active shooter.
Pollack’s father, Andrew Pollack, is helping start a program with dogs like the one named after his daughter in hopes it will spread to many schools across the nation and prevent future tragedies like the Parkland school shooting.
