Gavel the puppy was just trying to get buy with his puppy police career when his dreams were crushed! The German shepherd was recruited as a puppy to be a police dog in Queensland, Australia. After months of training, police said he “did not display the necessary aptitude for a life on the front line.”
AKA: HE IS TOO FRIENDLY! He loved meeting new strangers and rather play with them than arrest them!
Although Gavel had to say goodbye to his police career, he was offered a job working with the Governor of Queensland as the Vice-Regal Dog. Now he gets to makes friends every day as he welcomes visitors and tour groups to the grounds of Queensland’s Government House.
