Dogs had their day Sunday at the Orleans.
Competitors from all over the region took part in the Las Vegas Metro K9 Trials, featuring events in agility, tactical obedience and handler protection.
Events on Saturday involved building search and detection of explosives and narcotics.
The event was hosted by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Friends for Las Vegas Police K-9, a non-profit organization that trains police dogs and tends to retired police service dogs.
