K-9 UNIT SHOW AT BOCAGE SCHOOL

The Portuguese K-9 Unit has presented an amazing show of dogs trained specifically to assist police officers. . Most of the dogs were German Shepherds; besides them, there was one Rottweiler, one Dutch Shepherd, one Labrador and one São Miguel Cattle Dog. They were all extremely obedient and beautiful. 

These breeds, used to enforce public order, have shown how to chase and hold suspects, how to detain suspects by direct apprehension, how to sniff out drugs and how to protect the officer. They have also presented dexterity exercises, such as: running, jumping obstacles, jumping through rings of fire, going through a tunnel, etc. Thanks to our colleague, Filipa S., teacher of Physical Education, we have got some pictures of the event.
