(La Vergne, TN) La Vergne Police Chief Mike Walker caressed the head of the department's newest officer and scratched her ears as a welcoming gesture to the new job.

The new recruit is "Bora!", a pretty girl and a very hard worker! She and her partner, Officer Larry Holladay, are "home" for Christmas and will be headed back to Louisiana for the last weeks of their training!

Bora is a female Dutch Shepherd.

Chief Walker said, "Welcome to our LPD Family K9 Officer Bora! Thank you for joining the team."
