Labrador gets badge to soften image of police dogs
A Labrador retriever named Smoky has been recruited to join Tokyo police dogs to sniff out bombs and search for disaster survivors for the first time in the nation, to soften the image of the snarling canine on patrol.
Chieko Yokoi, a police sergeant at Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department, pats Smoky, a Labrador retriever, to reward him for the successful completion of a drill at the police dog training school in Tokyo's Tama region. (Akiko Tada)
