Today Michael Coutts came into school to talk to us about dogs against drugs.

There are 2 dog handlers in Shetland and they have 3 drugs dogs between them.

Did you know that dogs have 30x better smell than humans? Elephants have even better smell but they are more difficult to get in the police van. :’) Bees also have better smell.

The dogs and their handlers have to go south every year for assessments.

We got keyrings that had the website on it. Here is a link to the Dogs against drugs website if you want to have a look at the dogs in Shetland,  although Thor isn’t on this one : http://www.dogsagainstdrugs.co.uk/the-dogs

Thor is their newest dog, he’s still training. We got to meet him, he was lovely. He got really excited when he saw Magnus kicking the ball around at break time. He just wanted to play too! 🙂
