A police force has apologised to Islamic leaders for the "offensive" postcard advertising a new non-emergency telephone number, which shows a six-month-old trainee police dog named Rebel.
The German shepherd puppy has proved hugely popular with the public, hundreds of who have logged on to the force's website to read his online training diary.
But some Muslims in the Dundee area have reportedly been upset by the image because they consider dogs to be "ritually unclean", while shopkeepers have refused to display the advert.
In Scotland, no less! I guess somebody really can take away their freedom.
Churchill's bull dog would spin in his grave--if not considered ritually unclean, of course.
The spirit of defiance is dead in Britain. Never have so many surrendered so much to so few.
Feh. Britain really does belong in the EU, after all.
