Trick Dog Gets Orders by Radio (Jun, 1939)
The dog fired a revolver? That’s one dexterous dog!
Trick Dog Gets Orders by Radio
BY TEACHING a dog to do tricks under “radio control,” Constable Denholm, of the Sydney, Australia, police force, has fulfilled a two-year-old ambition. In a recent demonstration, he strapped a miniature shortwave radio receiving set on the back of Zoe, an Alsatian police dog, and retired to a shack fifty yards away. Then he spoke commands into the microphone of a portable transmitter. In response to her master’s voice as it came through the ether, Zoe climbed up and down ladders, turned a faucet on and off, took off her collar, and fired a revolver.
Why no pictures of the firing of the revolver? That sounds like the best part.
I’m baffled as to why today’s police dogs aren’t equipped with firearms.

Dunno…would you want to be anywhere near a dog you might have to discipline who’s ARMED?
I can picture the thought process…”He stuck my nose in that mess I made and yelled at me…BLAM..BLAM..BLAM..click, click, click…”
