    A few weeks back we had a very sad event. Local SAP (South African Police) were chasing a group of

    robberery suspects and a Police Dog was released in rough bush to try and flush them out. He never

    returned. There was a really big search for him - and eventually they found his body - stabbed numerous

    times.

    I cannot describe the out pourings of sympathy that this has occasioned - Churches , schools, Rotary,

    just so many clubs and groups of all description have been raising money for the Dog Unit and for a

    replacement puppy for the Handler. The last I heard enough had been raised to purchase a number of

    new dogs for the unit.

    This picture shows one of the local security guard companies - Blue Security - who I use, presenting a

    cheque for nearly 34000 Rands (approx. 2000pounds - $3200) to a representitive of the SAP Dog Unit.

    I think his Rottweiler is one of the biggest I have ever seen. Craig will know better then I do - however, I

    think at one time the Met. used them, but found them dangerous. I think we only use German Shepherds

    now. This is not the first time a Police Dog has been injured or killed in Sth. Africa - our criminals are

    heavily armed and always carry knives.

    I did offer them Tia - my min. Dachsie - they thought she could be a mascot - big mistake she'd take on

    anything. Mervyn
