Today was not a good day for fake bad guys in bite suits in Boynton Beach.
It was a great day for the beach, but instead they spent it playing bait for dozens of police canines at the first competition of its kind at the Boynton Beach Police Department’s Spring Fest 2012.
The day was full of barking, biting and running, with at least 1,000 spectators cheering from the stands at Boynton Beach Community High School. The event, which began at 11 a.m. and ran through 3 p.m., helped raise money for the police department’s K9 unit.
More than two dozen law enforcement agencies participated in the event, from Martin to Miami-Dade counties. But only one could take home the title of top dog; an honor that was awarded to one of Boynton Beach’s.
