Squad Cars: The Durban Police Dog Unit In The 1970S

In this true crime memoir, the author tells the story about how the South African Police started using dogs in the 70s, and his experiences along the way. The author met his best friend, an Alsatian named Bruno at the Police Dog School in Pretoria, who became his trusted companion and partner for the next eleven years. Together, the team patrolled the Durban city and suburbs, facing crime and violence, and were first responders on the scene of major crimes that rocked the country in the 70s and early 80s.SQUAD CARS provides great insight into subject matter that is foreign to most modern readers. From catching dangerous and sometimes stupid criminals to dealing with the politics of the Apartheid era, the one thing that is evident throughout is the relationship, loyalty and commitment between the animal and the handler.This book is a valuable addition to the bookshelves of every animal lover, readers of memoirs, and people interested in law enforcement and the history of South Africa.Grab your copy of SQUAD CARS now!
