Meet Durham Constabulary’s unexpected new recruit Jager, a stray who was rescued after being found running round the streets of Hartlepool recently.
The Belgium Malinois pup – who is thought to only be around eight weeks old – was taken to Stray Aid where staff immediately saw his potential and contacted the Dog Support Unit.
“He is now officially a police dog in training and training has already started,” said a spokesperson, “with Jager already a pro at tug of war.
“All going well, he will become a licensed general purpose dog in 12 to 18 months.
“Welcome to the team Jager!”
