Service dogs require a minimum 18 mos of training, before they are assigned to an officer. This one served with a Yolo County officer, City of Woodland. The dog was born in 1986, went to work in 1990, and died in 1992.

A handler may work with three dogs during his or her career.
They also visit public events to teach children about working dogs.
A badge number is often assigned. Cars are specially marked.
This would be a modern petrosomatoglyph.

There are two dozen or more markers for service dogs here. This was the only I noticed with a paw print on the bronze marker.
