Logan, an eight-year-old German Shepherd, received his award at a ceremony at Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire, hosted by the Thin Blue Paw Foundation.
A retired Humberside Police dog who survived being shot three times in the face while on duty has been honoured with a lifetime achievement award.
Having had no training, Logan was partnered with PC Sweeney who said he had “never known a dog like him”. “I deployed Logan which was probably one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make as I thought I may be sending him to his death to protect me,” PC Sweeney said. Following the incident, Logan received a Heart of the Community Award and was also honoured with the North East Region 2 National Bravery Award.In December 2020, Logan successfully tracked a high-risk missing person who had disappeared from his home.
