Fort Myers Police Officers Association, I.U.P.A. Local #6065 Members and K9 Scout participated in a Pet Blessing event.<\/p>\n

Many people like to do pet blessings in the month of October and K9 Scout and his handler were happy to be included! Those blessed included many dogs, big and small; and even a horse.<\/p>\n
