ACT action_31437595 -- A puppy rescued by the RSPCA after being abandoned in a bucket with his siblings has grown up to become a crime-fighting hero after being trained by Surrey and Sussex Police Dog Unit. .Four six-week-old cocker spaniel pups were found dumped in a blue bucket and left in the front garden of a home in Redhill, Surrey, on 14 July (2019). The RSPCA was called to rescue the dogs after they were found by the shocked homeowner and were taken in by the charitys Millbrook Animal Centre, in Chobham. .The puppies were almost bald due to severe mange, had chronic eye and ear infections, and were extremely malnourished and underweight. .Jo Douglas, from the centre, helped to care for them when they arrived. She said: The poor puppies were in a real state. They needed four different types of eye drops and two ear drops which had to be administered four times a day, plus medicated baths for their skin. .After weeks of treatment, the puppies - named Dustin, El, Lucas and Mike, after the Stranger Things characters - were rehomed to loving families. El, Lucas (now called Reggie) and Mike all settled in brilliantly but, unfortunately, poor Dustin struggled in his new home and was returned to the centre. .Jo added: Dustin was always on the go and needed constant stimulation and he was just too much for his adopters so he came back to us. We kept him busy by hiding tennis balls around the centre and playing scent games with him. He absolutely loved it - and was really good at following his nose and finding them so we contacted the police to see if theyd be interested in taking him on as a new recruit! .Dustin, now renamed Badger, joined the police dog training programme and qualified as a sniffer dog six months ago. .Jo was invited to see him working. She said: I was lucky enough to go and see him when he was training and it was amazing to watch him - 20201207_PD8207 - Rechteinfo: Rights Managed (RM)
