Kendall Hurley, 3, of Derry, is encouraged by Officer Pat Kelly to meet Niko, a 5 year-old police dog that has just been demonstrating for the group, during the Granite State Dog Recovery benefit at Derry Animal Hospital Saturday. Having watched Niko follow tactical commands, other children are more reticent to greet the dog.
