A nine-week-old pup has gone from wandering the streets to becoming a police force’s newest recruit.
Jaeger, a Belgian Malinois, was found in Hartlepool and taken to charity Stray Aid after a seven-day stay at the council pound.
Staff at the rehoming centre immediately saw his potential and contacted Durham Constabulary’s Dog Support Unit.
He is now officially a police dog in training.
All being well, Jaeger will be licensed to work alongside officers in 12 to 18 months
