Boston Police K-9 Puppy Needs A Name

BOSTON (CBS) – The Boston Police Department has a new member of its K-9 Unit. Now they're asking for the public's help naming the four-legged officer.

The 9-week-old Belgian Shepherd is a male who was groomed for patrol, Boston police say.

Specifically, the K-9 will be responsible for detecting explosive devices.

Troy Caisey, the head K-9 trainer for the Boston Police Department, said name suggestions should be strong, commanding, and no more than two syllables.

Caisey gave examples of Tuco, Bronson and Solo.
