  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Dobies and Officer 
Thanh ``Tommy'' Nguyen for their participation in the USPCA National 
Detector Dog Certification and Field Trials.
  The USPCA National Detector Dog Certification and Field Trials was 
held in Philadelphia and comprised of more than 100 police and K-9 
teams throughout the United States and Canada that compete for national 
certification and individual awards.
  The team of Dobies and Officer Nguyen received stellar marks across 
the board. They finished in third for the Room Search, first for the 
Region Team, and took home the ``Top Dog'' award for first place in the 
nation of narcotics detection.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Tarpon Springs team of Dobies 
and Officer Thanh ``Tommy'' Nguyen for receiving high honors in this 
national competition. It makes me proud to hear that our K-9 team is 
well trained and making Pinellas County safe, and I ask that this body 
join me in recognizing the efforts of Dobies and Officer Nguyen.
