    I did a ride along with my buddy the cop. One of the other officers was a K-9 unit. That dog was an ass kicker by every definition of the word. Never mind it's physical abilities, which were substantial. Mentally, that dog enjoyed causing pain. Here's an example:

    While on a call, I was walking on the sidewalk buy the squad car containing the police dog. The dog remained absolutely silent until I reached the closest point as I passed by. It was at that point that the animal went absolutely ape shit. Needless to say, I jumped to the other side of the sidewalk. But here's the kicker. According to the dogs handler, the dog does that with everyone. Rookie cops included. The dog knows when someone isn't aware of his presence, and he waits to the moment your most vulnerable before unloading his loudest barking storm possible. Maybe this behavior could be attributed to training. But no, ambush isn't part of a police dogs M-O. According to the dogs handler, the dog just likes to see people freaked out and cower in fear.

    ...what a bastard. Hat's off to him.

    @newgalactic: Can you imagine the hilarity of the video's that would result from the above mentioned dog performing his regular duties with the mentioned suit and video camera? "Run junkie, run!"

    I agree with keeping the pups safe, which is why they should mount miniguns on top instead of one of those hair-growing laser contraptions.

    I think it's a great idea. Now how to protect me when my dog gets into too much human food.

    At first I was thinking about why they wouldn't just make a helmet too, but after I thought about it I realized it wouldn't make much of a difference anyways since that when the dog charges or barks it's mouth will be wide open and the helmet won't be covering much.

    @Digo: How about a full face helmet? Maybe also provide a chest plate and shin guards. I think there are a lot better systems to protect the dog

    @Ridley: No, you want the dog to be able to bite and defend itself. Anything that gets in the way of that is more harm then good.
