UW-Madison Police Dept. welcomes first therapy K9

MADISON, Wis. – There’s a new face on the UW-Madison campus this summer. The UW-Madison Police Department welcomed its first therapy K9 to the team.

Charlie and his handler, Officer Katelyn Gamache, started on campus a few weeks ago.

“He loves pets, he loves cuddles, he loves everything like that,” Officer Gamache said.

Charlie is a one-year-old rescue dog from Florida, and he is the first law enforcement therapy K9 in Dane County. However, he is not trained to sniff out narcotics or explosives like most police K9s are.
