GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — You see K-9s at the airport. Now, a local gas station chain is calling for dogs to make sure you’re safe at the pump.

There are now K-9 units at three Sheetz gas station locations in Greensboro, and some people like Amanda Williams say they aren’t surprised.

“The fact that we’ve gotten to this point is a little concerning. Like the world has gone insane,” Williams said.

According to Sheetz Supervisor Bill Macy, the locations in Greensboro will be the first in the state to have K-9 units provided by K-9 interdiction.

Those locations include Wendover Avenue, West Market Street and Spring Garden Street. These are locations where longtime Greensboro native Michael Rogers says K-9s are needed.

“It’s good. Folks don’t know how to act in public. If they can’t follow the rules, let them get bit,” Rogers said.

We asked why Sheetz chose these Greensboro locations for K-9 units, and they sent us the following statement:

The safety of our customers and employees at Sheetz is a top priority. We continually assess which stores need additional support and have implemented supplemental security measures, including K-9 units, at several Greensboro store locations as an additional safety measure.

It’s a measure some Greensboro drivers like Henry Boyd are skeptical of.

“I guess it just depends on the situation. I don’t know what you would need the K-9 for unless you’re going for drugs or something like that. Other than that, it’s just another policeman,” Boyd said.

Sheetz hired a private security company called American K-9 Interdiction to provide the K-9 units.

A Sheetz spokesperson says they’ll be part of a test and there’s no timetable for how long people may see them.
