I wonder who is the ringleader of this crime family? Has either of them been arrested before?

Great article!! As the founder of Palo Alto Dog Owners, I am always happy to see when a dog demonstrates why so many of us have and love dogs. Well trained dogs really are humankind's best friend. What could have been a much more dangerous incident was resolved with the help of a trained canine. Of course, responsible training is the key. It takes dedicated owners, including police officers, to train and bring out the best in our dogs. Household dogs need to be socialized, and that is why we have been working so hard to get decent and additional dog parks in Palo Alto.
