April already....
Cyber crime is on the rise and online fraud and identity theft are major issues these days, that's why the Get Safe Online team have teamed with the City of London Police to utilise the talents of Dexter. He's a police dog that can sniff out crime through a desktop computer....
One of the cuter April Fools Day pranks I've seen! Love Dexter!!!

Possible thump alert - I say possible because I'm not sure if I've posted this one before - or if I'm just besotted with this lion cub!

Bart, a K-9 who served with Indianapolis police for 12 years before retiring, died today after a battle with cancer. Police estimate that Bart caught more than 400 criminals during his time on the force.
Wish I knew more about his story,especially how he lost that chunk of ear.

@Barry The Mod,
Hey, vonny. I don't thump. I thud. But I do fondly remember a thumper. The bunny in the Bambi movie. What a cutie. The lion cub looks vaguely familiar. Who cares if you posted if before. Cute is cute. Thanks.

The insect expertly shed its exoskeleton on a piece of grass in a delicate 40 minute process.

Wilbur, a Marine Special Operations Team member, takes a break with his handler after successfully sweeping a build site for an Afghan Local Police checkpoint in Helmand province, Afghanistan, March 30, 2013.
Wilbur is almost identical to our Harvey - the dog who died in January. Ouch, it hurts to see him - made me cry - but memories are all happy ones now. Bless all the working dogs who are so beautiful and so brave!

I don't know if this has already been posted but it's such a lovely story that I thought I'd post it just in case.

That's an incredible video Boomerang. Thanks. Didn't skip a second of this burgeoning story of unrequited love.
