Boston's Precious New Police Dog Starts K-9 Training
The 18-month-old dog is taking part in the police academy's fall patrol class.

Boston’s new police dog, Tuco, has started training to become the department’s newest member of the K-9 squad.
When Tuco first came to the department, he was just nine weeks old, and far to small for his assigned police harness. At 18 months of age, the dog’s harness is now a bit more snug.
The Boston Police K9 team posted a before-and-after photo of the dog on Facebook Wednesday.
