South Yorkshire PolicePolice Dog Bear joined South Yorkshire Police in 2019 and was partnered with PC Matt Aris.
The canine became a popular figure on the force's social media accounts and formed an “inseparable bond” with PC Aris, a spokesperson said. After his retirement in 2020, which followed a failed annual test, Bear continued to live with PC Aris and his family. PC Aris said: “I am forever grateful to Bear for his service and the protection he offered me while at work and I wanted to ensure his retirement was everything he deserved.
“His retirement was not as long as we hoped for and we unfortunately had to make the hard decision to have Bear put to sleep, which broke all our hearts.”
