The New York Police Department used a new breed of security at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on Thursday: a team of Labrador retrievers trained to sniff out explosives on moving targets in large crowds.
The K9s completed an 18-month training program called “Vapor Wake.” The program, developed by the Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, trains dogs to follow mobile threats rather than sniffing out explosives in stationary objects.
