SUNDAY, MAY 3, 1992
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT POLICE DOGS WHO CARRY OUT DUTIES IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE AT RISK OF SUSTAINING INJURIES. POLICE DOG ANDY BROKE A FRONT PAW IN AN ANTI-CAR THEFT OPERATION IN ΤΑΙ PO LAST MONTH.
FIVE YEARS OLD ANDY AND HANDLER SERGEANT CHAN WING-KUEN WERE ON PATROL IN TAI PO WHEN THEY RECEIVED A RADIO CALL, REQUESTING THEM TO TRACE TWO SUSPECTS, WHO HAD ESCAPED FROM A SUSPECTED STOLEN VEHICLE NEAR THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY STATION.
ANDY WAS REQUIRED TO SEARCH A STEEP AND ROUGH WOODED EMBANKMENT IN RAINY AND WINDY WEATHER. THE WET AND SLIPPERY EMBANKMENT MADE ANDY LOSE HIS FOOTING AND FALL INTO A WATER DRAIN.
FORTUNATELY, ANDY WAS GIVEN URGENT
RECOVERING.
