Will and Guy's Football - Stories of DogsIf police dogs do these terrible deeds to the innocent, what will the do to the guilty? ∇1) Police Dog in TrainingAs a result of so many dogs out of control, the police have a new training method
2) Dog and the PoliceIn the mid 1970's Will, Steve and friends went to The Dell in Southampton to watch the home team play Norwich City in the then League Division 1. Both teams were acknowledged as being proponents of good, fast flowing, attacking first touch football that delighted neutrals like us. The game itself was not really worth commenting on; however, the feast of fun at half time was. The programme notes had warned us of a Police dog display at the interval and this began with a hooded, gangster type figure running onto the playing area shouting and brandishing a pistol, which he repeatedly fired into the air. A short distance behind him came a German shepherd police dog. Just at that moment, one of the police constables in the ground, there for safety control, took off across the field and 'bravely' rugby tackled the 'pretend' assailant and arrested him leaving the bewildered dog nothing to do. The crowd, of course, roared not only with laughter but its approval of the mistaken arrest. The PC sheepishly put his helmet back on and returned to duty at the side. Later he was seen signing autographs. A delightful interlude to a rather ordinary match. The score? Do you know I can't remember. Φ3) Police dog attacks footballersThree players were bitten after a police dog ran on to a football pitch during an amateur game. As reported by the BBC on Monday, 28 October, 2002. The German shepherd fled from his trainer during an exercise at a disused building close to the pitch. Craig Jackson (no5) was one of the players attacked. It headed towards the field and snatched a linesman's flag before moving towards the players at Scunthorpe's Brumby Hall ground on Saturday afternoon. The injured players Steve Baker, 19, [not Will's wife] Craig Jackson, 18, and Michael Stones, 18, were bitten on the arms and back and were treated at Scunthorpe General Hospital. The game between Appleby Frodingham and Lincoln Moorlands had to be abandoned after the incident. Lincoln Moorlands manager Martin Burnett said: 'There were two children's games on the next field and I dread to think what could have happened if the dog had gone on there instead. 'Also the dog wasn't fully grown and it could have been even worse if it was a larger animal. 'It was scary as the dog was out of control, it was not listening to its handler and nobody could do anything. 'I have been in football for 22 years and I have never seen anything like this before. ' A Humberside Police spokesman said: 'The people injured have had their injuries photographed, the dog handler has submitted a full report to the police dog section and we will fully look into what went on.
