Dickson County High School has a new four-legged student. The Tennessean reports that CJ, an 11-week-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever, will work alongside students enrolled in the criminal justice career and technical education pathway. The dog will provide the high school's criminal justice students with a hands-on learning approach to a number of scenarios they may face in the field upon employment. Criminal Justice Career and Technical Teacher John Patterson says students will have to work to motivate CJ and be able to recognize his indicators when performing jobs, such as sniffing out drugs.
