As Lonnie Donegan sang, on 'My Old Man's A Dustman', 'I say, I say, I say, there's a Police Dog in my dustbin ...'If you’re being chased by a police dog; try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little see-saw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They’re trained for that.
I can confirm that, Police dog took a chunk out of my uniform, missed my right arse cheek by mms whilst searching a burgled building. Dog man didn’t shout his warning loud enough. Cost him a few pints in the station bar.Remember that the police dog in "get that scroat" mode, won't discriminate. Anything in front of it's teeth becomes fair game, even a fully uniformed police officer
Top Tip - stay behind the "operator"
I actually had that happen to me I was on a job where a Domestic violence victim ex wife of police officer, was looking after a police German Sheppard GPD as he had failed his induction until he could be re Homed, I was there to upgrade her security unfortunately no one had informed me or the dog he took an instant dislike to me in uniform and lunged at me whilst I was backed up to the wall fortunately she had him on a rope lead and pulled him back but not before he bit my stomach luckily I breathed in quickly and got away with more of a pinch with a couple of punctures, a frightening experience but didn't put me off dogs or the job and all ended up safe and secure.Remember that the police dog in "get that scroat" mode, won't discriminate.

We had a beauty of a Red Setter whilst in the RAF. He used to greet you by standing on his hind legs, with his paws on your shoulder..................until the day we came back from the hospital, where we learned that Rita was pregnant. He stopped jumping up at her immediately. Everyone else was fair game though in his mind.When we were in Ireland we were talking to lady with Irish Setters. I said our old dog loved to put her paws on my shoulders for a cuddle and she said her dogs had never done that
Are you sure it wasn't just a few years ago and involved a tree?Bit on the thigh by a German shepard security dog by accident 25 years ago.
It's no laughing matter. Still have the scars.
Yep, you just couldn’t get enough of those jokes when you were tired and cold….. ‘brains on chains’ etc but knowing your dog was trained to snarl on command kind of brightened the shift.Walking back to the Army Apprentice College one evening in the early seventies we were met by a Military Policeman with a dog. "ID Card" he demanded. My mate showed his to the dog, it being the intelligent one of the pair in his opinion. The rather bored MP pointed out that the IRA had made threats and that the dog could not read.....but could remember a face.
