The handler of a former police dog has paid tribute to him after he died earlier this month from a sudden illness.

He had kept nine-year-old Kaiser on as a family pet after his retirement and said: "Kaiser was the biggest and most committed police dog I've worked with. He was also the most vocal, as anyone who ever came near him or his van will tell you.

"Throughout his career he found numerous suspects and worked countless football matches.

"It's fair to say that Kaiser was more than happy to take 'positive action' to prevent disorder. He is a sadly missed best friend and family member."

Kaiser served for four years before having to retire due to a back condition.

A police spokesperson described him as "brave and stoic right to the end, as he was throughout his life and career".
