POLICE DOG IN ACTION AT A TRAINING STATION 



Until recent years, it was the bloodhound which invariably was associated in the public 

 mind with the capture of criminals, but nowadays it is the police dog which is the animal 

 guardian of law and order. Bold, indeed, is the burglar who will brave so tenacious and cour- 

 ageous an assailant as a well-trained dog of the breed here shown. A "graduate" dog of a 

 training station is an important asset to any metropolitan police department.
