K9 Scottie paved a way for facility dogs! This team was one to look up to. 💔❤️🩹 Rest Easy, Scottie.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hawthorne Police Department’s Facility K9 Scottie. Today, held closely by his handler Lameka Bell, and surrounded by a few members of the HPD family, Scottie said his goodbyes. Scottie was born on March 9th, 2010 and spent the first two years of his life in training to become a service dog for Canine Companions for Independence. After graduation, he was placed with the Hawthorne Police Department as the first ever police facility dog in 2012. Scottie has worked in the Community Affairs Unit of the Hawthorne Police Department his entire life with his handler Office Lameka Bell providing support, and comfort to all those in need. As a part of the peer support team, K9 Scottie has spent thousands of hours bringing smiles to the faces of children in court, officers, and individuals facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Scottie was always present where and when people needed him most, whether that be in court, school, or a hospital room - he always had a knack of knowing exactly who needed a little extra attention. Scottie’s impact surpassed even Hawthorne city limits, his presence and overall impact on the Hawthorne community has become known internationally.
Throughout his career, Scottie left his imprint on many organizations such as continuing to make appearances at events for Canine Companions, court visits with Courthouse Dog Foundation, SART visits with the YWCA, mediations with CYS, and many more. Scottie’s impact on the world of facility dogs has even served as inspiration for the establishment of two notable nonprofits: the International Police Facility Dog Association (IPFDA) and Project Opportunity. Scottie serves as a symbol that exemplifies the belief that anything is achievable.
While Scottie officially retired in 2020, he still insisted on showing up every day to work to see the people he loved. Everyone who came in contact with Scottie made their own happy memories of him, and each memory will remain forever in the hearts of those he touched. Even after his passing, K9 Scottie will continue to bring smiles and laughs with every memory shared.

It’s no wonder she was born on Valentine’s Day. She’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. Happy birthday to Hannah. Hannah has been such a blessing to HAPPI. She is always ready to lend a hand when it comes to any of the pups. We love you, Hannah.
It’s a cool training day when you get to spend it with Hanford Fire 🔥

This video has all the Friday vibes! Hannah & Wonder. Hannah, one of our best volunteers helps with all the fun trainings. Here’s their recent dance routine ❤️ *we do not own the rights to this music* #wonderdog #goldenretriever #dogtraining #fridayvibes #dolly
A very Happy Birthday to our HAPPI girl, Wonder!! 🥳🥳🥳Wonder was donated to HAPPI by @lionkinglitters Her & her handler, Hannah are a great example of partnership. Wonder is great at working with younger pups and teaching them the ropes. She has become quite the demo pup and loves showing off her skills! We love you, Wonder 🥳 Have the best birthday ever!!
Therapy dogs need vacations too. Ruby is being treated well at @thecliffshotelandspa • Not to worry, even though she’s on vacay, she will stay make time to say hello ♥️
Sweet Addie Rose spending some quality time with Ruby. Social time with other dogs has behavioral benefits that puppies need. Dog- on-dog play offers a type of vigorous exercise that humans can’t replicate. (from the District Dogs page) #dogplay #doodles #puppy #puppyplay #therapydog #futuretherapydog #doodlewrestlemania
Hannah makes puppy raising look so easy 🥰 But what we don’t see is the countless hours she spends on Wonder’s training. Wonder and Hannah’s bond plays a major role in how Wonder responds to her. We have no doubt Wonder will be a loving and caring therapy dog in the future. ♥️ #therapydog #puppies #goldenretriever #goldenpuppies #puppyraiser #dogsandschools #schooltherapydogs

HAPPI trainer highlight: Macarena Etcheberry, trainer/Director of HAPPI Dogs Inc. Macarena, a native from Chile, brings more than dog training to HAPPI. She has a background in psychology & is a certified trainer through Bergin University. Her passion for people & love for dogs is evident when you meet some of her trainee pups. HAPPI is blessed to have her. #mentalhealth #psychology #dogtrainer #nonprofit #advocacy #doodles #goldenretriever #workingdogs #centralvalley #therapydogs #firstresponders
HAPPI dog highlight: Oreo 11 month Bernadoodle Oreo was donated to HAPPI In January of 2022 by the Levy family & Oreo’s training is being sponsored by Fast Credit Union. Oreo spent 5 months in Oregon with a puppy raiser before coming back to California to start her training as Kings County Fire Department’s very first therapy dog. Once she completes her training, Oreo will be providing peer support to Fire personnel during and after critical incidents and providing support to the community. Oreo is a prime example of community partnerships & what an amazing community we serve. 🐾 If you’re interested in sponsoring a pup or donating a pup, please reach out to us 🐾 We would love to hear from you. These pups are changing lives daily. #bernadoodle #doodles #mentalhealthmatters #communitypartners #firstresponders #firefighter #therapydogs #firefighters #fastcreditunion #hanford
Sweet Hope. Once Hope completes her training, one of her special tasks will be to accompany victims to court. Practice makes perfect. Look at her smile. She might have found her niche 🥰 Investigator Jackson & Hope are an amazing team. A special thank you to our volunteers that graciously donate their time to help mold these HAPPI pups. #dogtraining #goldenretriever #specialdogs #teamwork #kingscounty
