POLICE DOGS.
Sir, —I. have seen the statement in your ■columns recently that "if the police had dogs they would have secured the cscapeo long ago." You may not know that 'Wellington "teems" with the breed adopted by the French police and German Army, viz., the "Airedale terrier," and that his Worship t-ho Mayor (Dr. Newman) has dono more for the breed than any other man in Now Zealand during the last
twelve years or more. I have seen his old veteran "Hobson Test" in Lainbton Quay quite recently.
I mention this because there is, to my mind, 110' difficulty in the way of the police getting a tried aid as well as an excellent friend and companion in their often lonely vigils'. I should say that if permission only were given the constables to keep a couple at tho bar- ' racks they would soon got- tho dogs given thorn by some irieud or. other. I must restrain- myself from entering ujwn tho nibrits of the Airedale terrierI have owned one for fifteen years, and know tho breed. —I am, etc., ■ ONE WHO LOVES A FRIEND.
