K9 Ultra is a Military Working Dog and a true professional, fiercely reliable in the field, yet playful and loving at home. She is a skilled detection dog, the instant she hears the command “seek,” she locks into mission mode. Off duty, she enjoys hiking trails, choosing the perfect beach rock and barking at anything that goes bump in the night. Ultra brings joy, loyalty and courage to every moment—on and off the job.

What moment best shows K9 Ultra’s heroism? 

During a vice-presidential motorcade, K9 Ultra was tasked with clearing the entire route under strict time constraints. Her unwavering focus and precise detection work ensured the area was secure, allowing safe and protected movement through a high‑threat environment.
