Meet officer Ramirez
While Rick was still finishing up his training to be a police dog, there was another officer that was going through training as well. That person was Officer Ramirez, who was just getting started out as a cop. He was very excited to be doing this as a career, it was always his dream.
On top of that, he really loved working with animals and was planning on joining the K-9 unit. That is a special unit that deals with police dogs, they usually look for illegal drugs and other substances. Ramirez was dedicated and would be passing his exams at the same time Rick finished training.
