Notes: Kassie received several thank-you letters and a certificate of appreciation from the Fairfax Police Dept. in May 2008. She was picked as one of 3 dogs to go on a mission to the jungles of Guyana South America, looking for a downed aircraft in August 2008. There she did her job, but also was an ambassador of love and friendship to their children.
