RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento Children’s Museum gave guests the chance to meet the hardest-working hounds in the Sacramento Community at their second annual Dogs with Jobs event on April 6th.


Visitors of all ages attended and had the opportunity to learn more about each dog’s special set of skills from their handlers. The dogs in attendance did everything from work in hospitals, airports and schools to helping their human partners fight crime.


A major highlight for visitors was meeting two different types of police dogs and seeing the difference in their roles and abilities. The Rancho Cordova Police Department brought along detection dog, K9 Zoe and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department brought apprehension dog, K9 Bady.


Guests met working dogs of all sizes - from the 8lb Chihuahua all the way to the 135lb Great Dane!
Children and adults alike had a great time learning more about the different working dogs in our community. The event also featured dogs from the Gold Country chapter of Love on a Leash, Lend a Heart Lend A Hand Animal-Assisted Therapy and the Shriners Hospitals Pet Therapy Team.
