Meet the Milwaukee Police Department's newest K9: Nando.

At just six months old, the young pup was born in Germany before arriving in America in April.
 
He started training with his new partner, Officer Christina Marshall, last month. Marshall had prior experience working with K9 Kenny, who passed away last year.
 
She says she and Nando have already formed a bond.
 
"It's hard to explain how much you actually come to care for the dog," Marshall said. "Anytime that you deploy them, something could happen."
 
Living with Officer Marshall is the first time Nando has ever lived with a family, so she said they're working out all the kinks that come with living with a new puppy.
