State Police Canine Holly
The PBS Nature program " Underdogs" follows Holly, a bloodhound, on her journey from languishing in a shelter to becoming an important member of the Massachusetts State Police Canine Unit. Holly is currently partnered with Sergeant Bruce Hiorns from the Canine Section West Team in Westover. Since pairing up with Sergeant Hiorns in August of 2005, Holly has been on missions spanning the Commonwealth from the Blue Hills Reservation in the east to Mount Greylock in the west.
