K-9s are more than just dogs – they’re heroes who ditched their capes and have paws! 

These clever, loyal pups are specially trained to help the police, firefighters, and search teams in ways that humans just can’t.

Whether they have to sniff out danger, find missing people, or help protect their communities, these brave pups are always on the job with wagging tails and sharp instincts. They are the furry teammates you can definitely count on.

And here to prove this is the incredible Raider and her handler, officer Phil Ritchey. 

The Best Girl Is On The Job 

Raider is definitely not your average pup. Apart from being adorable and the best furry companion, she also helps her county by being a skilful narcotic detection dog. 

Wherever there is trouble, you can count on Raider to sniff it out!

She and Phil are more than just colleagues at work, they are a dynamic duo who have built a strong bond of trust and friendship.

“We have a strong bond, and I think that the stronger bond you have the better the work relationship that you have,” officer Ritchey told The Dodo. 

This is especially important considering the fact that the job of a police officer is never an easy one. 

“You see tragic accidents, you see people who are going through the worst times of their life. You get in the car, and I’ll just call Raider to come up here. And just like what she’s doing right now… these kisses make everything better,” he said.

Never Alone 

But officer Ritchey and Raider aren’t alone, they also have the sweet K9 Maddis, who loves keeping them company. 

When Raider and Maddis met for the first time, they clicked instantly. 

“I remember the first time Raider and Maddis met, they started sniffing noses, and her tail was going a hundred miles an hour. Typically, a lot of police dogs don’t get along, but they have a good relationship. And they do play. We will throw the ball and it’s a really cool thing to see,” he added. 

It’s no secret that officer Ritchey and Raider do absolutely everything together. No matter if it’s catching the bad guys or just chilling at home, these two always have a blast. 

And with Maddis joining the team, the trio has become an inseparable family. Maddis brings his own special energy, always keeping things lighthearted with her playful antics. 

Together, they make an unstoppable team. It’s clear that this K-9 squad is not just about work – they’re about friendship, fun, and a whole lot of love. 

“Raider really makes this job so much better, to be able to have my best friend with me at work,” concludesofficer Ritchey.
