Canadian Law Enforcement Animals, 'stand on guard
for thee'
These exceptionally gifted and well-trained police dogs reside with their human
partners. When a handler loses a dog, they lose not only their partner but also a much loved and valued family member.
This love and respect for these irreplaceable animals echoes throughout all police institutions.
