My name is Oak Jones. I spent ten years in the Houston Police Department, three years working beats, and seven glorious years in the Police Dinosaur Unit (PDU). I was one of those kids who loved dinosaurs growing up, and the idea of being paid to work with one sounded like the best job anyone could have, ever. Now that I'm retired from HPD, I wanted to collect some of my war stories. Everybody asks me what it's like working with a police Velociraptor. Let me be blunt: being a dinosaur handler is the most fun and rewarding job you can have in the world. The pay is horrible, and the trials and tribulations are tremendous, but I wouldn't have chosen anything else.So these memoirs are for everyone who's ever wanted to know what it's like being a Velociraptor handler. These are some of my favorite stories from that time. What surprised me more than anything was the amazing bond I made with my Velociraptor, Banshee. It was a relationship unlike any other in my life, and one that I will hold dear for all the rest of my years.You probably know that the word dinosaur is Latin for terrible lizard. I thought that would make a great title for this book because while Banshee was a great working police Velociraptor, he was a terrible lizard...
