I dislike seeing these dogs any where near football matches. One campaigner says he is concerned that dog numbers have been reduced from 2,000 to 1,800. Saying that dogs do a good job in searching for explosives drugs and missing persons. The attentive span of most dogs(which include cockerel Spaniels) is TWENTY minutes. There are plenty of stories of people being accidently bitten by Police dogs. I do remember one scenario at the Gate a few years ago when the dog was in control of the Police officer.
