Vancouver Police Canine Unit Just Released Their 2019 Charity Calendar And It’s Badass

ADVERTISEMENT

Very good police dogs and their handlers have been getting together for very badass photoshoots. And for a noble cause.

“The dog pictures calendar was started in 2009 by retired Vancouver Police Sergeant Mike Anfield in honor of his wife, VPD Constable Candy Anfield who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2004,” Social Media Liaison officer for the Vancouver Police Department, Anne-Marie Clark told Bored Panda. “Proceeds from the sale of the calendars go towards the B.C. Cancer Foundation and B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.”

“The police dogs all followed their handlers instructions during the photo shoots and were good dogs,” Anne-Marie Clark added. “You can see their personalities showing through in the pics. PSD Brando really is as cool as he looks with his sunglasses on. PSD Bailey loves a quick break in a local coffee shop. PSD Jack takes his job seriously and is always determined to get to the truth when it comes to interviewing suspects!”

“We currently have 15 smart dog teams in the VPD Canine Unit. Each team is comprised of a police service dog and their human handler.”

“The police services dogs are important to our department because they are trained in a variety of disciplines which include: tracking, criminal apprehension, evidence recovery, narcotics, firearms, and explosives detection. The Canine Unit responds to over 10,000 calls for service each year in the city of Vancouver, and to Lower Mainland police agencies which require the services of a police dog and handler.”

The cute dogs calendar costs $15.00, and you can order it from anywhere in the world here.

A well treated working dog is a happy dog. They just love having a job to do and the reward at the end.

You can mail me a police dog if you like. I had one years ago and would just love another one. Mine took care of me and my girls from any harm and I cried way over a year after she passed. Now I'm not young anymore I want another one to keep me and my husband safe . Not asking much am I ? LOL

I would so pay money for a meetup to fangirl over this type of calendar! It’s not everyday that you can meet a working police dog. (Well, I don’t want to bother them while they are working anyway.)
