RPD Kenai

RPD Kenai was bred in Hungary before coming to the UK and training as a general purpose dog with North Yorkshire Police, where he worked for six years.

He became a firearms support dog before he retired and he was adopted by fellow police officer George Cants.

He said: “Kenai had a gift for tracking and never took any notice of police officers when he was working, but knew who he was looking for. He was excellent at tracking vulnerable missing people and lost children.

“I heard about the Thin Blue Paw when I signed a petition about pensions for police dogs and when we adopted Kenai his handler told us about the support the Foundation provides to retired police dogs.”
