RPD Frodo

RPD Frodo and his brother were puppies when they joined Police Scotland, in 2017, licensing as a victim recovery dog the following year.

He worked with his handler, Janet Findlay, who said: “Frodo was quite shy and a bit nervous and it wasn’t known if he’d actually make a working dog. Victim recovery really suited his nature though and he went on to carry out many searches in the west and east areas of Scotland and, during his working life, assisted in numerous searches helping with criminal tracks and searching for long-term missing persons.”

He retired alongside Janet, to live in Glasgow, in 2021 and he was also diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy which weakens the heart.

We help cover the cost of his bi-annual scans to monitor his heart while he enjoys retirement going on long walks with Janet and her other retired police dogs – and his tennis ball!
