Carpenter Elementary School second-grader MacKendrick Burkle pets Loki, the K-9 dog who visited the school Nov. 21 with Jones County Sheriff’s Deputy Derek Denniston. The class had been reading a book about a police search dog, and for the students’ Panther Paw reward, they voted to have Loki visit. (Photos by Pete Temple)
