Hmmm. in my book it was killingly funny. It is not quite English humour however, Malaysian most likely.

I would like to be able to say that thi is humour but it is all quite true.
Police learn to speak Dutch

Police officers have been forced to learn Dutch - because three dogs they have recruited do not respond to English. Three Avon and Somerset officers travelled to Holland to select the dogs, after struggling to find good quality animals in the UK.

But there was a communication problem so dog handlers at the force's dog section in Bower Ashton, Bristol have had to adapt.

The handlers which look after the Dutch dogs - two German Shepherds and a Malinoi - are now able to fluently speak the Dutch commands.

The canines had already been trained as police dogs in their homeland.

Sergeant Hardy Hussain said: "The recruitment of The Professor, Amigo and Dutch goes to show that we will go to any length to ensure we take on dogs that are of the highest calibre."

It is very interesting fact and for sure just proves some of my theory.
Sometime ago I had conversation with one of our dog handlers and I told him that all animals belong to some kind nationality. But he replied me that all animals should understand English. Now I'll show him this article. Thank you.
