LONDON (Reuters) -
Police in Scotland have set up a Web
site to allow the public to meet their newest, and cutest,
recruit as he learns how to sniff out criminals.

A six-week-old jet-black puppy with no name has been given
his own online diary as he prepares to begin his new career
with Tayside Police.


Officers said the puppy, one of a litter of seven, has
attracted huge interest since he was unveiled as the force’s
latest crime-fighting weapon.


The dog’s new handler, Constable Mike Keenan, said: “The
benefits of using German Shepherds are that they are generally
very loyal and hard working, as well as being intelligent.”


Keenan’s wife Jennifer has asked pupils from St Ninian’s
Primary School in Dundee to come up with a name for the puppy.
