Long arm of the paw? Manx dog catches three burglars!

Monday, 6 January 2025 07:46

A Manx recruit with police in Manchester has been sinking his teeth into his new job - helping catch three suspected burglars in a night.

Police dog Donnie, trained on the Island, completed his police training in December.

Last night, Greater Manchester Police said he'd been deployed tracking and managed to find three suspects.

Island-based training firm K9 X tweeted about his success on social media.
