Last March I visited the Department of Defense’s Inter-Service Advanced Skills K-9 (IASK) Course at Yuma Proving Grounds, Yuma Arizona. During the visit I met April McCoy, wife or Army Staff Sergeant Lee McCoy. Lee is an instructor at the course and you can see him in action in this photo.

April takes terrific photos of the military working dog team training and granted me permission to share her photos on my site.

Thanks April!
