A HARD-working police dog has won a top award along with his handler.

PD Dare and PC Hewitt were awarded Police Scotland Greater Glasgow Dog of Year at an awards ceremony in Glasgow City Chambers yesterday. 

The duo were recognised following an incident that took place last year.

They found a vulnerable missing person just days after finishing their training. 

German Shepherd Dare posed for a picture alongside his handler following the win. 

On Twitter, Police Scotland Dogs wrote: "Congratulations to PC Hewitt & #PDDare awarded @PSOSGreaterGlas dog of the year @GlasgowCC City Chambers today.

"The team were recognised for their work finding a vulnerable missing person only days after finishing initial training last year #thatlookoflove."

One person wrote: "Congratulations, great achievement and well deserved."

Another added: "Aw well done, you make a great team! There's just nothing like a dog."
