Meet K9 Trooper Cheis, aka "Cheese" 🧀 — a 3-year-old German Shepherd from the Slovak Republic serving as an explosive detection dog for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Stationed at the State Capitol with Trooper Andrew Coppinger, Cheese keeps Tennessee safe with regular sweeps and statewide callouts. When he’s off duty, he loves fetch, belly rubs, and yard playtime. A true hero and an invaluable member of our team!
