Sharon K9 Flutie To Host 'Doggy Zoom' Session

SHARON, MA — Sharon police community resource K9 Flutie is getting his own show.

For a few minutes one afternoon, anyway.

Flutie will "host" a "Doggy Zoom" session geared toward Sharon families on Tuesday at noon. The meeting can be found here with login details here. Sharon police said Flutie will be there to say "Hi" with his handler Sergeant Adam Leavitt answering any questions about Flutie that meeting attendees might have.

Sharon police said that Flutie is inviting cats to view the meeting as well.

In looking for ways to fulfill his mission as a community resource during the coronavirus health emergency, Flutie has been making the rounds on social media, took part in an online autism awareness seminar Sharon police shared this month, and even participated in a Zoom teleconference with fellow police K9s on April 8.

"We are brainstorming some other ideas to keep him out there online as much as possible," Sharon Deputy Chief Brewer said. "We are looking at a couple of Facebook Live things, and other things where we then might be able to post the video for people to watch online.

"The longer this goes, the more creative we'll be."
