Bond between NYPD officer, K-9 partner runs deep

The bond between an NYPD officer and his K-9 partner who are working at the U.S. Open together continues to grow stronger every day.

"Pretty much every day, all day together. I never had a bond like this before," NYPD Officer Michael Cautillo said of his K-9 partner Jamie.

That special bond is clearly evident as they work together sweeping through the crowds at the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament. They are part of the NYPD's Counterterrorism K-9 Unit.

"For a successful canine team, there has to be a very, very good and strong bond together. You almost feed the energy off of each other," he said.

But it wasn't until they were paired together in April that Cautillo surprisingly learned that Jamie was named in honor of his uncle, Det. James Albanese.
