A Vancouver Police K-9 team has been ranked the best in Canada for taking a bite out of crime.
Police Constable Ray Wong and police dog Bear were awarded first place out of 50 competing teams at the National Police Dog Championships in Edmonton last week. The K-9 teams were tested in categories including compound search, team event, criminal apprehension, evidence search, tracking and agility. The event was organized by the Canadian Police Canine Association and ran from September 5 - 8.
The championship marks a significant comeback for Bear who was electrocuted while on duty in 2002. Bear stepped on an electrical plate while pursuing a burglary suspect and was resuscitated by Wong.
