We could not agree more!!!!

A working dog's mind is every bit as important as his physical ability. Pro Plan formulas featuring nutrients such as DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids help support brain health and cognitive function, providing purposeful nutrition for dogs whose jobs demand exceptional focus and performance.

Nice job Mr. Lorde!!!

On October 18, 2026, at about 2:45 p.m., Park Forest officers responded to the 300 block of Wilshire Street for a report of a missing person. Staff at a group home reported that an elderly resident had left and was missing. They advised that he has cognitive and intellectual impairments that may cause him to become confused and disoriented.

Officers immediately began an extensive search using patrol personnel, unmanned aircraft systems, and a police K9.

K9 Officer Piszczor and her partner, K9 Lorde, successfully tracked the man and located him inside a vehicle. He had entered an unlocked vehicle, where he was out of view of officers searching from the air and on the ground.

The man was evaluated by paramedics, found to be uninjured, and safely returned home.

Great job, Officer Piszczor and K9 Lorde, and thank you to everyone who assisted in bringing him home safely!
