Sierra Vista,
Arizona -- August 9 - (ABP) American
Border Patrol's mascot, Star, a ten-month-old German Shepherd,
found her first group of suspected border intruders (SBIs) at
5:15 A.M. during a pre-dawn walk with ABP chief Glenn Spencer.
As the pair crossed over a culvert, Star started barking. Spencer
looked down and saw some of the SBIs. He immediately called the
Border Patrol who responded rapidly and rounded up the entire
group. ABPs sensors had picked up a large group moving through
a nearby canyon at 4:34 A.M. "I think this is the same group,"
Spencer said. |
