RPD Bo

Which force did Bo work for?

“Over the years, he lent his nose (and terrifyingly deep bark) to Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire Police before returning home to Leicester, at age five, to partner with his forever handler.”

What made Bo a good police dog?

“From fields to back gardens, no criminal could hide from Bo’s nose. His size and bark alone convinced more suspects to surrender than any negotiation ever did — “I’m here, don’t let him near me!” became his unofficial catchphrase. If the police van was rocking, you knew Bo was on board!”

What’s Bo’s favourite things?

“Food is his truest calling — though he’ll happily interrupt mealtime for a good spin and bark when his people come home.”

How is Bo’s health?

“On retirement Bo had to have an operation to stop the bleeding in his urine caused by a cyst. His health is generally good but he has slowed down in his senior years. His hips can give him discomfort but overall he is doing really well.”
