Man’s best partner

Published 12:00 am Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Vicksburg Police officer Leonce Young works with his canine partner, 17-month-old X-On, Tuesday at softball fields off Army-Navy Drive. X-On, a Russian shepherd who has been with the Vicksburg Police Department for 8 months, is Young’s constant companion, living and working with him. He is the department’s first bomb-sniffing canine and is capable of sniffing out cadavers. Young said X-On has been called on and performed valiantly several times. (Katie Carter*The Vicksburg Post)
