Speedy recovery Beau. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽ
The last few days, Beau has had a little stay at Leahurst Hospital, where he had two lumps removed. He will be taking it easy for a few weeks while the incision sites heal. A big thank you to the amazing vets and staff at the hospital who looked after him! #StandTall #PHBeau

They are superb. Wish you were at a craft Fayre near me. Never give up! If you believe in yourself you can reach that dreamโญ๏ธ
People scroll past. Some don't think I can make something worth buying. I'm disabled and I made this by hand, stitch by stitch. Prove them wrong with me. ๐ŸŒธ

Nice one Poppy! That is definitely not on! And what a dopey individual to try and hide there. Hope PDโ€™s Ike and Dobby and their human are all ok ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ
A police dog vehicle carrying PD Ike and PD Dobby was rammed during a pursuit. The vehicle later crashed and the driver made off on foot. PD Poppy was deployed to assist, and she wasn't having that. A short search later, the offender was located hiding nearby. Good girl Poppy ๐Ÿ‘

Much has been written about the soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part in that historic operation, and rightly so. Their courage and sacrifice helped shape the world we live in today. What is less well known is that many of them did not serve alone. Among the thousands of Allied personnel involved were military working dogs. Some were trained to carry messages between units. Others were used to detect mines and explosives, locate enemy positions or stand guard over their handlers during some of the most dangerous moments of the war. One of the most famous was an Alsatian named Bing, who parachuted into Normandy alongside British troops in the early hours of 6 June 1944. Despite being injured during the operation, he continued to serve throughout the campaign and would later be awarded the Dickin Medal for gallantry. Like the men they served alongside, these animals faced dangers they could never fully understand. They didn't know where they were going, why they were there or what was waiting for them. They simply trusted their handlers and carried out the tasks they had been trained to do. It's a reminder that throughout history, service animals have stood beside those in uniform during some of humanity's darkest moments. Their contribution is often overlooked, but it should never be forgotten. Today, as we remember those who took part in D-Day and the wider war effort, it's worth sparing a thought for the four-legged heroes who served alongside them. Lest we forget. ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿพ

Nice one TPD Inca ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ
A few weeks ago I did some bite work with TPD Inca and although she was strong on the bite pads she wasnโ€™t too sure about biting the sleeve with me wearing it. Thatโ€™s all changed and Iโ€™ve no doubt that she is going to be very tenacious on her bite work

Well done TPD Milo ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ
Control work with TPD Milo has been my number 1 priority because his hyper excitable character means sometimes it is difficult for him to concentrate on anything for more than a few seconds. But I am very pleased with how his impulse control is coming along

Whatever the outcome, public confidence depends on investigations being independent, transparent and free from any perception of bias. Accountability strengthens policingโ€”it doesn't undermine it. Please sign and share my petition ๐Ÿ™ petition.parliament.uk/petitโ€ฆ

Weโ€™re delighted to have been able to help RPD Ronnie from @DevonPoliceDogs @DC_Police with a grant towards recent veterinary treatment after he developed lameness last month. Born in Germany in 2015, Ronnie was the only dog from his litter to successfully complete the @DC_PoliceDogs Puppy programme before going on to serve alongside handler PC Mark Pomery. During his distinguished career, Ronnie achieved Advanced GP and Firearms Support Dog status, attended Regional Police Dog Trials, qualifying for the @PoliceDogTrials, and was involved in an incredible 94 arrests and missing person finds. Retiring in 2023, Ronnie now enjoys life on the North Cornwall coast with his handlerโ€™s family, two spaniel companions, and his successor, PD Rita. Thank you for your service, Ronnie. It is a privilege to support you in retirement. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ For more information on how you can help us be there for retired service animals - you can visit our website: nfrsa.org.uk Thank you for your support. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ
