Arapahoe County school therapy dog doing double duty

DENVER, CO — Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Deputy John Gray and his canine partner, Rex, are a man and a dog on a mission. Actually, two missions.

Gray is a school resource officer who rotates between eight different schools. Rex, a 1-year-old Labrador retriever, is a therapy dog trained to provide comfort and support. The dog is also now trained to find guns.

This summer, Rex completed his training as a gun and gunpowder detection dog, becoming the first school therapy dog in Colorado with that dual certification.
