Cassius: The True Story of a Courageous Police Dog

Cassius was a truly exceptional police dog whose career became stuff of legend and the gold standard for all dogs coming after. In just five years he scored a century of arrests, saved lives, bit half a dozen policemen, and gave his handler, PC Joe Sleightholm, the most exciting, exhilarating and nerve-wracking times of his life. The story of Cassius is by turns thrilling, funny and moving, and always a fascinating insight into the freemasonry of police dog training.
