A heartwarming video shows how an abandoned puppy found wandering the streets was rehomed - and is now sniffing out crimes as a police dog.
An uplifting video shows Russo the Belgian Malinois, a rescue puppy who has just passed an eight-week training course to become a qualified police dog. Russo, who is believed to be around 14 months old, was wandering the streets near Heathrow Airport and was introduced to the police as part of a rehoming project. Watch: Police Dogs - Caught On Camera special on Shots! TV. Police dog handling experts immediately spotted his potential and Russo was taken for tests to check his suitability.
Dog Section Sergeant Nicholas Dachtler explained that while a lot of people buy Belgian Malinois, very few are capable of meeting their needs. He said: “Belgian Malinois make excellent working dogs but very demanding pets. Sadly, some of these owners will not have the necessary skills or experience to train and own such a demanding dog – leading them to be given up to rescue centres or abandoned.
