L-a prins chiar bine pe individ!
Tot uitandu-ma la astfel de filmari, e nevoie clara de caini cu psihic puternic in astfel de cazuri, daca animalul e "mamaliga", nu ar face fata unei asemenea presiuni.

Pai de-aia tot trambitam de caini cu psihic puternic!!!!! Ne-au luat la misto multi pe chestia asta dar sa se duca in padure cu totii si sa ia si pet-urile cu ei, ca pe strada vor da rateu, asta e sigur.

Anii trec si...tot cainii sunt cea mai eficienta "tehnologie" in astfel de situatii..
Ieri urmaream un material video cu un politist care, dupa ce n-a mai lucrat in politie, a platit 10.000 dolari (atata a cerut sectia de politie) sa puata lua in proprietate personala cainele cu care lucrase, asa mult s-a atasat de el. Imi plac cazurile astea, in care cainii nu sunt vazuti/tratati doar ca unelte de lucru in domeniul asta.
Jos palaria in fatza tipului respectiv.

He died a hero and will always be remembered as such. A memorial service was held today in Quantico, Virginia for Ape the FBI police dog, who was killed in that shootout in Herkimer last week. Rest in peace Ape.



The gunman, who was suspected of already killing four people and shooting at police officers, was holed up inside an abandoned bar in upstate New York. He had made no contact with law enforcement officials for hours and the belief was that he was armed and dangerous.

A police robot equipped with a camera was ready, but its use may have been limited because the gunman’s hiding place was littered with debris.

So a tactical dog named Ape, equipped with a camera, went into the building first on Thursday, followed by agents with the State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Ape, a Czech German Shepherd, was shot in the chest just as he breached the doorway.

Officers returned fire, killing the gunman, Kurt R. Myers, and then turned to try to save Ape. They performed CPR on the dog as he was rushed in an armored vehicle to a nearby veterinary office.

“We were trying to do everything we could to try to save its life,” said Dr. Emily M. Green, one of the veterinarians at Herkimer Veterinary Associates who worked on Ape.

But he died a short time after he arrived.

Ape was 2 years 4 months old, and had been on active duty for the F.B.I. for a little over two weeks.

“Ape was doing what he was trained to do and made the ultimate sacrifice for his team,” the agency said in a statement released by Special Agent Ann Todd. “His actions were heroic and prevented his teammates from being seriously wounded or killed.”

Ape was to be taken to the agency’s headquarters in Quantico, Va., where he will be buried and have his name added to a memorial wall dedicated to dogs killed while on duty.

Ape was the second F.B.I. tactical dog killed in the line of duty, Agent Todd said. On Oct. 28, 2009, Freddy, a 2 ½-year-old Belgian Malinois, was also killed while accompanying F.B.I. agents who were attempting to make an arrest. He had begun duty with the F.B.I. in September 2008.

Though the F.B.I. and the police declined to discuss the specifics of why and how Ape was used in the raid, outside experts said his role highlighted the increasing use of dogs by civilian law enforcement agencies in some of the most dangerous assignments.

In fact, the use of the dog in the quiet village of Herkimer, N.Y., is strikingly similar to the way dogs have been used by the military during more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

A dog accompanied a Navy SEAL team on the raid that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, and the elite military unit has reportedly purchased a number of vests, equipped with infrared night-vision cameras, for their dogs.

The cameras allow a handler to see what the dog is seeing from as far as 1,000 yards away.

“This is a military application brought to local law enforcement, which is a very common thing now,” said Robert S. Tucker, the chief executive of T and M Protection Resources.

And with scores of veterans trained to handle dogs retiring from the military, there are more people capable of working with dogs in a civilian setting.

It is a far cry from how dogs were used when the New York Police Department acquired its first bomb-sniffing dog in years — Brandy — in 1971.

Michael Stapleton, a former police officer who was working on the tactical patrol force at the time, recalled how Brandy was viewed skeptically until she detected explosives on a plane at Kennedy Airport.

Still, Mr. Stapleton said, in the 1980s there was resistance to using dogs to patrol sensitive locations. “The thought was people would take offense to the aggressive stance of dogs,” said Mr. Stapleton, who in 1986 founded Michael Stapleton Associates, a security consulting firm.

That changed almost overnight on Sept. 11, 2001.

Dogs can now be found sniffing out everything from bed bugs to bombs.

But it was not until more recently, experts said, that dogs started to be used on raids like the one in upstate New York.

The F.B.I. said that Ape had just started working on active duty on Feb. 25 after “successfully completing a demanding tactical training course.”

“He will be missed by his F.B.I. family,” the agency said.

Ce timorat e cainele ala!

Saracul caine, se vede ca n-are nici o treaba cu "realitatea".

Mi se pare o suma mare pentru un "pet", dar intr-un fel ii inteleg, au bagat totusi niste bani in caine pana la varsta aia, mancare, veterinar etc.
