Meet Helen – a high-drive working dog with a soft spot for chaos and peanut butter. Hailing from the reputable Pacific Coast K9, Helen combines her natural talent and training with a personality big enough to match her muddy pawprints.
When she's not putting her nose to work, Helen can be found executing her favorite tactical maneuver: the splash-n-roll – a signature move involving maximum water wallowing, immediately followed by a full-body mud bath.
Her guilty pleasure? Peanut Butter Flavored Gooberlicious treats – the only thing that can distract her from a good puddle or a suspicious scent trail. Equal parts goofy and gifted, Helen brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of dirt to the job.
