Hi, my name is Arno. I am a Belgian Malinois. I was born in the Netherlands. At the CIA, my main job is to find explosives, but I am also trained to find bad guys. I have been with my partner, K-9 Officer Derek, for almost four years. I love working with him. We travel all over the world. We go to competitions, too. I really like to compete and show my partner that I’m really good at my job. I finished first at one of the explosive competitions. Officer Derek was so proud of me; that night he even gave me a steak for dinner.

At home I always have lots of fun. Officer Derek has two boys and a really nice wife. She sneaks treats to me all the time. I really like dinner time, because the boys always drop food on the floor. I love chasing my toy called a KONG. The boys also throw the KONG to me. I get so excited when we play with it. We all go on family walks and runs. It’s nice to get outdoors and exercise. It keeps us healthy.

One last thing, remember to do your best in school. If you see me working, ask Officer Derek if it's OK before you come pet me and say "hi."
