Police dog helps capture 8 criminals By Bao Xinyan (China Daily) Updated: 2005-11-30 06:00
NANJING: A police dog became the hero of Tiexinqiao Police Station in
Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu Province yesterday.
Dark Leopard, a two and a half year old German Shepherd, has helped officers
capture eight suspected criminals in less than two years, said Li Zhigang, who
works at the police station.
Last year, Dark Leopard found three thieves stealing industrial raw materials
from a local enterprise, Li said.
The dog barked and fought bravely but one of the thieves broke the dog's leg
with a stick.
Despite the pain, Dark Leopard would not let go of the thief's clothes until
human officers came to arrest him.
Dark Leopard belongs to a team of 11 dogs whose duty it is to guard
enterprises.
In order to let pupils better understand their work, Tiexinqiao police often
invite pupils to visit their station.
In related news, Tibetan mastiffs will be widely used as riot police dogs in
the country, Xinhua News Agency reported yesterday.
Big, brave, strong, faithful and vigilant, the Tibetan mastiffs will make
ideal police dogs, officials from the Ministry of Public Security said.
