SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Deputy Bill "Mac" McCaffrey and K-9 Deputy "Tootsie Roll" patrol the halls of Red Bug Elementary nearly every day. But this K-9 cop does not sniff out drugs or explosives. She doesn't find lost people either. This little puppy has only one mission: Make people smile!

"Tootsie" is one of 4 K-9 Comfort Dogs the Seminole County Sheriff's Office has assigned to 4 School Resource Deputies this year. The News Station's Tom Johnson takes you on patrol with this puppy "law enforcer."
