AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Today, the Potter County Sheriffs Department let ProNews 7 meet it's newest member, Banny, a two year old Weimaraner drug dog.
Banny specializes in finding narcotics and is the department's first drug dog.
Officials said they've seen an increase in drug busts along I40, and Banny was a welcome new addition to the team, but while Banny has been training his whole life to be a narcotics dog, he also has a few more tricks.
His owner and partner, Deputy Wallace Jones said, "in the situation that we have in our sheriffs department we can use him if we ever have escapes, he can track inmates, Alzheimer patients, children things like that."
Banny will start work for the sheriff's office in the next
