In a talk led by PC Jim Beaird and Sgt Paul Screech, the attendees learned about the process of selection and the rigorous training process that the dogs go through.
Our three K9 visitors who live with PC Beaird and Sgt Screech, create a strong emotional bond. "You get very attached 
to them," explained PC Beaird.
"They're completely different at home to how they are when they're hard at work. You end up with no back garden, of course! "They are fantastic guide dogs, though."
PC Beaird explained how some of the dogs are donated to the Force by people that find they are very inquisitive and too energetic to be taken care of in a normal domestic environment.
"These dogs will literally chase a ball around all night long, so often owners find that it's just too much.
"We've had fairly mixed success with donations. Sometimes they turn out to be fantastic workers, others just aren't cut out to be police dogs. But as I say, we're always extremely grateful for donations!"

This was the second joint Safari Networking experience run by both chambers held at the Hilton London Stansted proving yet again to be a popular way to network.
Members and guests circulated around a series of tables, spending two minutes each to introduce their company and explaining what sets it apart from competitors.
Gary Baker, of GB Visuals said “A very productive event. Thank you everyone!”
Whilst Paula Tatchell of Spun Candy summed it up “Fab meeting!”
Julie Budden, chairman of the Stansted Airport Chamber of Commerce, said: “Safari networking is fun but also provides the structure needed to maximise the benefit of taking time out of the working day to extend business contacts”.
There was even time for a bit of light hearted fun with some of the attendees with the twitter board!
The event also featured a talk by Sue Sowerby, The Sowerby Group a local creative agency providing tips and advice on how to make the most of business with LinkedIn and social media.
