Well it made me smile....
Just a little shaggy dog story in the news today...
When the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) demanded a witness statement from police officer PC Peach, officers wrote back explaining that PC Peach was in fact PD Peach, stressing that PD stood for police dog.
They were told several times Peach was actually a police dog but they insisted on a written statement so the case handler completed a form as if it had been written by the Alsatian, signing it with a paw print.
The statement read: “I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy Peach.”
It stated that the age of the witness was “four” and that his number was PD4341.
One officer took a photograph of the statement and it soon appeared on Facebook and on several police Twitter accounts, including West Yorkshire’s Police Dog Unit, which wrote: "PD Peach called to give evidence. Would have loved to have been there."
One Facebook user wrote: “Typical of the CPS being dogmatic about getting statements from literally everyone present! I bet they are woofing it down!"
The CPS, however, failed to see the funny side and complained to the police that their mistake had been turned into a very public joke.
