It's PC to support police dogs





I mean it's pawlitically correct to support all police dogs especially in Wiltshire. Today was another cold but fantastic day dog reporting. We traveled down to Wiltshire to visit PC Neil Sampson and his heroic dog, "Anya." Anya is a pedigree German Shepherd trained to be a working police dog. If you live in England you may have read about PC Sampson's amazing story last year. Anya saved his life on a routine call one night. Again I don't want to spoil the story so you must tune into to watch Crufts online and view all the Friends for Life 2009 stories. It's going to be really tough to vote as all our nominees are such heart warming and lovely stories.

We had a demo of Anya's work and you can see from my pictures how incredibly fit and strong she is! (don't worry the guy in the picture is not a real criminal just another fellow police dog handler named Steve)

We are very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and interview Neil especially after all the snow Wiltshire had the last two days.

Dogs are the most amazing creatures and they are a lot smarter than we realise. PC Sampson really gives his dogs a lot of credit to keeping him and his collegues safe.

We finished up early afternoon filming and the Crufts production crew stopped off at the lovely little village of Avebury which has stones similar to Stonehenge (just a lot more of them) We stopped to take some photos and of course I went over to watch people sledging down the hill with their dogs watching below. The dogs were having just as much fun as they were!

If you ever visit this part of the country than you must stop through this lovely english village. It has picturesque landscapes and of course lots of dogs :)
