Ritter is a therapy dog and we learned all about his awesome job. Next we made a few dog toys. After we had lunch we went to the pet cemetery and did a scavenger hunt. Then we started our week long project of our theater boxes. After we cleaned up our guest speakers today were the Burlington K-9 Unit arrived. Officer Wade Labrecque was our community partner and helped us organize for this event.  Corporal Martin and his dog Capone also came to show off their tricks and talents. This included simple tasks like sit, lay down, heel, and stay. This then ranged to more complicated tasks such as searching and tracking and protecting his or her officer. The campers had an amazing time watching the show!
