WE can’t help feeling that PC Keith Pattinson would have been delighted by North Yorkshire Police’s newest recruit. PC Pattinson died following an accident at home. His family donated a German Shepherd puppy to the police in his memory.
Fourteen months on Patto is a qualified police dog, having passed his ‘exams’ with flying colours. “My dad... would be thrilled to have another crime-fighter named after him,” said PC Pattinson’s daughter Katie.
We’re sure he would. Well done, Patto.
