Those incredibly 'unreliable' DOGS............again!

The illustrious bbc.com has come up with an answer to the prevailing problem of animal waste, in particular for some reason they target dogs. I guess it's inevitable any solution to any given problem will be in some way connected to the mobile phone..



There are already moves afoot to tackle the issue of dog walking in certain areas across the UK.

There are evolutionary connotations here in so far as the recycling of bodily waste products are all part of natures rich cycle of survival. Where on earth (excuse the pun) do they think bird droppings go, pigs poop, cowpats, bat waste, elephant dung ??? But that's for another day.

The only species of earth that has access to the porcelain is the human being, even that was invented by man (or maybe woman if you look deep enough). Babies are not born with toilet accessory, they are taught by their elders to use a toilet, not go as and when bum and willy dictate. Other earthly species don't have that luxury, they go where and when.

What's the problem?

Dog lives matter !!!

Police dog getting ready for work...

If that nose is as efficient as it looks, I'd say it's notoriously reliable.

Three pups destined for Police training school.

Glad to see they've got the "Diversity" issue under control.

Three ethnicities catered for.

Nine week old GSD puppy TPD Murphy. He has big paws to fill when he takes over from PD Geezer next year.




PD Shadow was deployed to an aggravated burglary where males had broken in to a property in balaclavas with weapons before running off. PD Shadow quickly located a male hiding in bushes who gave himself up when he saw PD Shadow and armed response approaching.



Overnight, PD Orbit has attended the scene of a traffic collision where the occupants have left the location. Orbit has tracked from the scene to the front door of an address. Once inside the registered keeper of the vehicle was located and arrested on suspicion of drink driving.





PD Shadow was deployed to a car that had been stolen from a driveway in Market Rasen. After over two hours of searching the drone located a heat source in a tree line and guided PD Shadow in where she located a male lying under some bushes trying to hide, One detained!





PD Fletcher was sent to a crashed vehicle to look for casualties. He made quick work of the task and picked up a scent within minutes. The driver gave himself up when he saw Fletch coming! Turns out he was hiding because he was drunk! 1 detained for drink driving.





PD Fletcher has been busy. Whilst in Skegness his handler wanted to speak to a driver but he decided he didn't want to stick around! He made the mistake of thinking two legs were a better escape option. 4 legs are faster than 2.. one detained for failing to stop and drink drive





TPD Bane...10 weeks old.



A vehicle tries to avoid our attention unsuccessfully before the driver tries his luck on foot. PD Orbit was deployed and the driver was detained. Orbit has then searched for the vehicles keys finding them discarded in a bush. Driver was arrested for a number of offences.





TPD Oscar 15 weeks old, already in the classroom.

Hard day at the office  

What a beautiful pup.^^^

These new K9 recruits are ready to fight crime


You really need to turn the sound on

Those are adorable, I want one.

 pandering to the muslims again. This is too pathetic for words. It   plays into their hands. But that's probably the intention.

Bet they'd be happy if that " impure  " highly trained police dog caught a burglar breaking into their home or business though 

That report was published over 14 years ago, is it some social media 'influencer' reincarnating it?

A response published by the Times in July 2008..

Police advert row: It's the apology that's offensive, not the dog

This is a storm in a policeman's cap

If I were diversity officer at Tayside Police I would go to great lengths to avoid offending Muslims. I would make sure that they were not stopped and searched just for looking a bit shifty, and, nothwithstanding the Government's victory in the Commons, I would want to make sure that young Muslims were not driven into the hands of radicals by being incarcerated for 42 days without charge.

What I would not do was make a police spokesman go down on his knees and grovel for supposedly causing offence by putting a picture of a dog sitting in a policeman's hat on a poster for a new non-emergency number. Tayside Police are now in a cleft stick - they have offended me with their stupidity. It isn't that I like cooing over pooches. Far from it. I share the Muslim view that dogs are unclean and shouldn't be allowed indoors. I'd happily round up every dog in Dundee and release them in the tundra where they would have to survive by reconnecting with their inner wolves rather than whimpering pathetically for another Bonio.

What irritates me about Tayside Police is that in trying too hard to promote interfaith relations they make things worse. Real people are not offended by such trifles as a pooch on a poster. When Dundee's reporters took to the streets to find offended Muslims they drew a blank.

A spokesman for the Al-Maktara Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies commented: “I would not say that a picture of a dog is offensive.” The Scottish Islamic Foundation commented: “There isn't an Islamic basis for taking an issue with a simple picture of a little puppy.”

The idea that Muslims are offended by the very sight of a dog seems to derive entirely from one Dundee councillor, and even he didn't try to make out that he was upset, only that others “could” be.

By rolling over and apologising, the police have made themselves look weak and inadvertently given the impression that Dundee's Muslims are an intolerant bunch intent on Islamifying the British way of life. It was the same when Birmingham City Council banned Christmas decorations, claiming that they were offensive to ethnic minorities. Reporters struggled to find anyone offended by a Christmas tree (which, in any case, is a pagan symbol) but by then it was too late - Birmingham's ethnic minority population had taken the blame for spoiling the festive season.

With public bodies given to pathetic acts of apology, offence has become a useful political tool. If you want to make a politician or public body look ridiculous, all you have to do is play at being offended by something said or written - and wait for heads to roll. It is about time our leaders stopped falling for it.

Golden retriever escapes and walks 40 miles back to his old owners



Cooper has defied all the odds to live to bark the tale (Picture: Lost Paws Northern Ireland)
A dog miraculously survived for 27 days on his own after escaping from his new owner and walking 40 miles back to his old house.
Cooper had just arrived outside his new home in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, when he leapt out of the car and made a run for it.
The golden retriever had been rescued from the kennels by a devoted dog lover after his previous owners had to give him and his brother George up.
After bolting, Cooper incredibly spent almost a month making his way along main roads, down country lanes and through fields and forests until he was back where he lived before.
His remarkable journey saw him walk 40 miles – mostly at night, without any idea where he was or any humans to feed him – to where his life started as a puppy in Tobermore, Co Londonderry.
All of this happened while people were desperately searching for Cooper every day to try and bring him back to his new home in Northern Ireland.
New owner Nigel Fleming, a photographer from Dungannon, said losing Cooper as he pulled up outside his house was ‘a disaster’ but he’s now a ‘very happy and relieved man’.

Mr Fleming had adopted the dog from the pound because he thought he would be ‘good company’ for his other golden retriever Molly – he admitted he’d love to have also taken Cooper’s brother George but said three was ‘too much’.
He told BelfastLive: ‘I’m sitting here looking at him and I cannot believe he’s home. We had literally driven from the dog pound to my home when he bolted. 
‘The poor boy had no idea where he was and he was in the wind. I tried to chase after him but he was gone in an instant – so then the search was on.’
Whether Cooper missed his old family or his brother, we will never know, but the fact he’s living to bark the tale at all is almost implausible.

Mr Fleming said Cooper is ‘safe now’ and ‘eating small meals to build up his strength and put some weight back on slowly’.
Reflecting on the astonishing nature of how Cooper managed to somehow make it back to his old house unscathed, Mr Fleming said: ‘In the end all we had to do was follow a dog’s nose home to familiar surroundings. 
‘If only we’d known, we could have saved big Cooper all that anxiety. Hopefully now he is home for good but I’ve some added precautions in place if he ever feels the need to bolt again. He has been through a lot.
‘Even when he was missing, my faith in humanity was restored thanks to the incredible help I was offered, and today with him here by my side and with Molly, I don’t really have the words to explain the gratitude I feel.’


Cooper is now ‘setting in well at his new home’ (Picture: Lost Paws Northern Ireland)
Cooper had first gone missing on April 1 and wasn’t found again until April 26.
Charity Lost Paws Northern Ireland (NI) said it was ‘absolutely delighted’ to have been part of Cooper’s rescue and said his story will ‘live on in his family for generations to come’. 
A spokesman for Lost Paws NI said today: ‘Cooper is settling in well to his new home life with his sister and is enjoying some home comforts.  
‘We visited him several days ago when he was caught and he was cuddled up by the fire, comfortable and loved. 
‘I’d like to comment that his new owner Nigel is one of the most dedicated owners we’ve had the pleasure of meeting.


‘Nigel never stopped fighting, never stopped asking for advice, never stopped filling the food bowls every time we were on the move. 
‘This story is one about positivity, perseverance, loyalty, battling for what you want in life and never giving up.
‘Against ALL the odds Cooper didn’t stop battling and travelled a long distance through an area he had never been and had no way of knowing how to get back home, but he figured it out and arrived back at his previous address.’

Retired Police Dog Dan wants you to guess how many toys he can fit in his mouth.

There's something really quite beautiful about these German Shepherd Police Dogs, they look the business.
