Boy Scout Adam Kennihan of Troop 58 in Cooperstown built a kennel for the Butler County Sheriff's service dog, Bullet, a 10-year-old German shorthair pointer.

OAKLAND TWP — Adam Kennihan of Valencia was looking for an Eagle Scout project that was different from projects completed by other members of Troop 58 in Cooperstown.

He didn’t have to look very far.

His grandfather suggested building an indoor kennel for Bullet, a German shorthaired pointer that works as the county sheriff department’s tracking and narcotics detection K-9 and is handled by deputy Harry Callithen II, Adam’s uncle.

Adam, 16, quickly agreed. He said he sees Bullet when he visits his uncle and when his uncle brings the dog to his school for education programs.

“I think it looks good. I think it will keep him warm in the winter,” Adam said Wednesday when he met Sheriff Mike Slupe at Callithen’s house to show him the kennel.
