Katarina Narvaez, an NYPD K-9 officer, honors her deceased father, Lt. Frederico Narvaez, who was killed in the line of duty when she was just 9. Now, as a member of the K-9 team, she works alongside her wire-haired pointer/Labrador mix, named Freddy in her father's memory. Freddy is adept at finding guns and explosives. Their bond exemplifies Narvaez's dedication to her father's legacy. She emphasizes her emotional connection to her work and her beloved K-9 companion, showcasing both personal and professional devotion to law enforcement.
"I feel honored that they let me name him after my dad. It meant a lot to me when they said that I could."
"Freddy has a great nose," said ESU Detective and trainer Christina Orlando.
"Such a good dog!" she cooed, rewarding Freddy with a rope toy after a successful find.
Narvaez still gets emotional when she talks about her dad, who was killed responding to a domestic incident.
