TO celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day, Northern is putting the spotlight on four-legged friends who spend their days at work helping to keep the rail network safe.

Harry is a trained explosive search dog ...

... Harry is one of BTP’s 64-strong dog section, one of the largest in Britain. The dedicated police force for the railway – which was the first constabulary in the country to use dogs – now utilises general service dogs, explosive detection dogs, and drug detection dogs.

I thought this was an announcement of free hot dogs for police at Boston Tea Party.  ;D
