A stray dog rescued from the streets of Hartlepool is being trained up by Durham Police.
Jager's only thought to be around eight weeks old.
Officers say he's already a pro at tug of war.
A spokesperson for Durham Police said:
"Meet our unexpected new recruit Jager, a stray who was rescued last week.
"The Belgium Malinois pup – who is thought to only be around eight weeks old – was taken to Stray Aid where staff immediately saw his potential and contacted our Dog Support Unit.
"He is now officially a police dog in training and training has already started with Jager already a pro at tug of war.
"All going well, he will become a licensed general purpose dog in 12 to 18 months.
"Welcome to the team Jager!"
