In a First for Britain, 3 Adorable Dogs Are Working Security at Major Train Station
London’s Waterloo station has become the first major train station in Britain to put dogs on regular security patrols, employing canine colleagues Riley, Buster, and Flo as part of a three-month trial to offer passengers increased safety assurance.
The pups were deployed by South Western Railway and Network Rail Wessex in partnership with canine security company Alpha Canine Specialists. And although we know they have very serious jobs, it’s hard not to break out in a grin when looking at their happy faces.
Riley, aged 11, and Buster, aged 9, are cocker spaniels, while Flo, aged 10, is a Labrador. This will be the trio’s final deployment before retirement — watch them on duty.
