The police have honoured their four-legged comrades by setting up the first ever memorial for their loyal canines to commemorate the K-9 unit’s 50th anniversary.

Comm Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd said it was only fitting that a memorial was put up to mark the golden jubilee.

“The unit’s contribution, particularly the various dogs in its ranks, is priceless.
