The Dog Cops by Brian Barnard

The Dog Cops tells the story of a dedicated police officer whose life has fallen apart but who finds purpose and fulfilment when he is teamed with a new colleague who is black and sable with a small blaze of white on his chest. Sent to a country town, the pair rapidly prove their worth to the town, the police, and themselves.

Whether the pair are detecting drug stashes concealed in cars, tracking down violent criminals, or apprehending armed and dangerous offenders, Ben Gibson and Sabre demonstrate that nothing matches the skill and tenacity of a well-trained police dog team.
