Video: The Dog Squad

This week in the magazine, Burkhard Bilger writes about police dogs: “A good dog is a natural super soldier: strong yet acrobatic, fierce yet obedient. It can leap higher than most men and run twice as fast.” In this video, Officer Wayne Rothschild discusses his bond with his partner—a German shepherd named Danz—and instructs Danz to leap over hurdles and climb obstacles in one of the N.Y.P.D.’s canine training courses, on Roosevelt Island.
