Police dog retires after eight years of service
A video of a police dog retiring after eight years of service has gained traction on social media.
Dogs are recognised for their loyalty, and are very useful when it comes to sniffing out a criminal. This is why they are trained to further enhance their sense of smell.
The video was shared by a page ‘Dog’ on Instagram on May 14, with the caption: “Thank you for your service Rio.”
A police officer making the announcement about Rio also thanks the dog for ensuring its handler’s safety in every mission. The officer then added that the dog “can now take a well-deserved rest”.
“Eight years of service is a long time. Sweet boy, I hope he finds a nice family with some little kiddos to sneak him table scraps and hug him every day,” a user commented. —ndtv.com

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
