JR has well earned his keep, as a well trained canine, sniffing out bombs. It's time for him to retire and lead a restful, beautiful life, with Officer Bob McKusker.

That is true since I have only seen German Shepherds as K 9 dogs in Louisiana.

@Deepizzaguy Black labs are extremely intelligent dogs, that's probably why he was used.
