POLICE DOG NEEDS HELP! - Page 1

I saw this on UK Dobermann forum, and was so sad when I read it..... SOS ( SAVE OUR SAXON) A PLEA TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A FAITHFUL, LOYAL HONEST POLICE DOG I refer to you article with regards to the happy retirement of police dog Kye who was serving with Gwent Police. Kye was due to be put down at the end of his service however thanks to your article the police have now allowed him to remain with his handler and enjoy the rest of his life and retirement at home. My Husband is a serving police dog handler and home office police dog instructor with Gwent police and for the past 4 years has had the honour and privilege of handling the most wonderful police dog. Saxon who is a 5-year-old German Shepherd has been an extremely loyal and faithful servant of the police force and has been responsible for detecting many criminals. Saxon has been my husband’s partner, sole mate trusted friend and loyal companion during his service and on many occasions my husband has been alone in very dangerous situations with only himself and Saxon to arrest serious and sometimes violent criminals. Both my husband and Saxon have been commended for their team efforts they even had a personal letter from the chief constable on one occasion. My husband’s stories to me are endless and amazing and I feel safe in the knowledge that Saxon has and will put his own life in front of my husbands to protect and look after him. When off duty Saxon lives at home and is looked after by the whole family, my daughter takes him for walks and always plays with him. Saxon lives both in his kennel and inside our home where his favourite place is on the sofa next to my husband, sometimes I just don’t get a look in they are like a married couple. For the past 3 months Saxon has been housed at the police kennels at Glascoed where he has been looked after by the police dog handlers whilst my husband has been away.
