S TO RY

I got up early and prepared my uniform...

Breakfast is important, so I started with a bowl of ice cream!

I m et t h e Colon el.

He gave m e t h e keys t o m y n ew r ide!

Th is cou ld w or k !

Th en t h e 911 call cam e in .

A m ean dog w as ou t side ou r bu ildin g.

"things were getting off to a "ruff" start!"

I ran into the parking lot.

Then there was a loud bark..

He h ad t o be r igh t beh in d m e!!

I ran t o t he nearest cover!

Ranger Bill, my Field Training Officer

Was the nearest cover

u o y Ar e o kay?

Yes. 4 e d Co

Then the Colonel yelled "where is that dog?"

Lt. Rob had additional details

I wasn't answering any of their questions... s y u g e s ! t Th e h g ti p u ar e

I had way more important things to do like...

. . . g a t Pl ay

A senior Ranger scolded me and hurt my feelings...

It was my first day.

I wanted to do good.

Even a double chocolate milk did not help.

My favorit e inst ruct or at t he academ y said I was a good Ranger. Not t o give up...

THEN SHE SAID:

"Capri, you will have to go under-cover if you are going to catch this dog" I TRUST HER. SHE HAS BEEN CATCHING BAD DOGS HER WHOLE LIFE!

Capri going "under-cover"

I read every report

FAKE NEWS! "I never bit that dog!

I don't have rabies, they are lying!"

I had to get a rabies test!

I hate fake news!

Why can't they tell the truth?

Now I w as M AD!

I asked a friend for help

BOLO Armed to the Teeth

Sh er if f Lam b I never asked you for m uch...but now I need your help. I t hink t hat pup is headed t o Mexico!

Why don't you take my helicopter?"

I thought he'd never ask :) I flew off into the night...

"Doggone - How do I land this thing?

I need to hover until I can find a video.

If I wreck it, the Sheriff might not let me borrow it again.

Give me a few minutes...check out my favorite songs on the next page. I'll be ready by then...

"TAPS" on a Banjo "TAPS" on the Banjo Star Spangled Banner on Banjo

Sunday Best (good lyrics)

This fugit ive fur-ball was arrest ed in t he San Pedro River, just t his side of Mexico

The mangy mutt was held for sentencing in the Picacho jail

This wom an owned t he dog, and was apprehended t oo.

Her plea for m ercy fell on deaf ears.

Well, that was my first day with the Ranger 's. It started out kinda bad but...

The Colonel was happy!

The Sheriff was glad he got his helicopter back

Parades for the Rangers were held across the Territory

I bailed out the pitiful pooch, and now she's my partner

This story made the news...

and t hey act ually t old t he t rut h!

Oh, I almost forgot!

I got a call from the office of a former President of the United States!

They thanked me for supporting law enforcement!

Y A Y

And I got this cool coin... something about a Congressional Medal of Honor?

Adam Lee Marcus will play at my birthday party. He is my friend. (click play above to hear his music)

NOT BAD FOR MY FIRST DAY!
