GROWTH PROMPTS LAMAR PUBLIC SCHOOLS' NEED FOR DRUG DOG

Oak Grove parent Lillian Flynt isn't fearful of her daughter attending first grade at a school with a drug dog - she is more fearful of a school that doesn't have a dog.

"If it keeps bad influences away from my daughter, I'm all for it," Flynt said.

Lamar County public schools will have its first drug dog this fall, while Petal public schools will continue its existing drug dog program.  In Petal, the dogs are available to search for drugs and serve as an aid in teaching children about crime prevention.
