High-Flying Hound Catches Breeze From Sheriff's Helicopter

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL -- Most dogs can’t resist hanging their heads out of car windows to catch the breeze.

But Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office K9 Champ has an advantage over his K9 companions. He gets to catch the breeze in a sheriff’s helicopter flying 2000 feet above the ground at 120 mph.
