The handler is lucky the dog was only interested in playing with the ball.

The obedience level has some room for improvement........wonder how many reports the handler had to write up on that blunder???

Yes I agree it was disgraceful, notice how the handler just casually strolls over.
So lucky it was a mal and not a rottie, could you imagine the flack the rottie people would have copped. lol

I had a good laugh at it as i put it on my fb wall this morning....thought it was cute! I know better control and all that, but the dog wanted the ball, and the dog has drives as an animal first, humans get it right only most of the time .....always room for error when working with animals......If it was a Rotty and it behaved like a ball nutter then i don't think media could make much out of it

At least the crims know how to avoid apprehension from a Malinios Rob, throw it a ball!!!.

Hi Nev, how true is that??
Would be hilarious if crims start carrying around tennis balls, whilst doing their burgs. etc.
I won't let the mali members live this down. lol
Hey where are they.

To be honest.. I feel the guy did the right thing 'casually' walking over to his dog. If he had have panicked and rushed the dog.. The dog could have done a couple of things:
A: run off believing a negative was coming (avoidance)
B: Think a game had started, and again run off
C: Switch into working mode and chase someone
D: ?
Even though the handler was at fault for the dog getting loose.. I feel his reaction was the right choice..
We don't even know if it was a 'fully' trained police dog. Could have been a green dog that was being assessed in a real life crowd situation.. or a dog still on basic training... I think we need to becareful about jumping to conclusions without knowing ALL the facts.
