HOW WE HELPED RETIRED POLICE DOG THOR IN RETIREMENT
RPD Thor was just two when he joined Cheshire Constabulary and worked with handler, PC Dan Thomas, for eight years as a general purpose dog and firearms support dog.
He retired at the age of 10 and was adopted by Dan to live with him at home. worked for Merseyside Police for almost six years, from 2014, until his retirement.
Dan said: “Thor was an amazing tracker with many catches, arrests and prisoners to his name. He was even featured on Caught Red Handed.
“I always knew if there was a track to be done, Thor would find what he was looking for!


“He had a really high drive and was incredibly tenacious and athletic; he absolutely loved his job!”
In his retirement years, Thor enjoyed life with Dan as his pet.
“He enjoyed his retirement and loved all the extra treats but I think he missed the job,” Dan said.
“However, he was such a good partner and I committed to giving him the best retirement I could, so was grateful to the Thin Blue Paw Foundation for their support.”
We supported Thor’s monthly ongoing medication for bladder infections until he passed away in February 2025.
