For the first time in Rhode Island, a pit bull has been certified to be part of the State Police Search and Rescue Disaster Team.
The female American Pitbull Terrier, whose name is "X" was trained by Rhode Island State Trooper Matt Zarella and handled by Alicia Sequin.
The 43 pound dog just completed the Disaster Search course, one of the most difficult tests. Earlier she completed the agility course and training to find a person under rubble.
You can visit X and her teamates at the Ocean State Search and Rescue, Inc. web site.
