BACK by popular demand, OFFBEAT brings its readers a progress report on the Alsatian puppies born in the middle of January this year at the Police Dog Unit. As these pictures attest, the little canine constables are frisky, have their eyes wide open, and are full of mischief. They're also very very cute. Once again PDU officers thank all those who applied to take a puppy home for a year, and are happy to say that all have found loving homes for 12 months after which they will be returned to the PDU for their intensive three-month training programme before being integrated into the Force. | |
