KWT CANINE WATCH: LOCAL DOGS AND THEIR HUMANS ARE IN THE NEWS


"Residents are using crime fighting dogs to patrol the streets of Kensington and Windsor Terrace."
                                    Crime fighting dogs take the streets in Brooklyn
                                    WABC Local News


"K9Watch isn’t a dispatch service; volunteers simply walk their pets at night as they normally would and loop around area train stations. Women who wish to be escorted home, simply have to flag down a dog. They’re easy to spot with their bright yellow bandanas."
