Beth Kendall of Interquest Detection Canines of Montana and her dog Storm demonstrated the black lab’s drug and alcohol finding skills at an all-school assembly on Wednesday, September 13. Not only did Storm accurately locate the substances her handler hid in students’ shoes, but she also drew smiles and laughs with her playful antics. MK explained how sensitive Storm’s nose is and reminded students to be especially careful during hunting season in Montana to remove hunting rifles and ammunition from their cars when parked on school grounds.
Before the assembly, Storm and MK made their rounds in the halls at Park High to ensure a safe environment free of drugs and alcohol. The following evening, Kendall and Storm were available to demonstrate canine detection and answer parent questions at the Ranger Road Trip open house from 4:45 to 8 p.m.
