police dog
Officer's trained partner
A police dog is a dog trained to assist law enforcement—tracking suspects, detecting drugs or explosives, searching buildings, or apprehending fleeing criminals.
German shepherds and Belgian Malinois are the most common breeds.
The police dog tracked the suspect through the woods.
Also called a K-9, from the word canine.
