The crime-fighting canines from the BCH Dog Unit have swapped out police chases for a professional photo shoot by dog photographer Katrina Wilson.

PC Lindsey Cox, from the BCH Dog Unit and who handles police dog Harley, said: “We’re hoping this is going to be a fun way of raising money for two deserving animal charities.

“The support we receive from the public has always been overwhelming, and we’d be incredibly grateful if this could extend to our aim of raising money for the rescue centres.

“As there is a limited number of calendars we are asking for a minimum donation of £8 per calendar, and any larger donations will obviously be received with our sincere thanks.”

The funds raised will be split between German Shepherd Rescue Elite and Luna Animal Rescue.

Anyone wishing to support the unit’s fundraising by pre-ordering a calendar is asked to make their donation via PayPal at www.paypal.me/bchdogunit.

Alternatively the calendars can be collected from one of the three forces’ headquarters in Kempston (Bedfordshire HQ), Huntingdon (Cambridgeshire HQ) or Welwyn Garden City (Hertfordshire).

If you’d prefer to collect your calendar, you should leave a note when making payment via PayPal.
