Recalling theFiji’s most heroric moment, Claire said: “An emergency call came in for a high risk missing person and there were concerns he may have been suicidal.

“Within just a few hours, thanks to Fiji’s amazing nose and her training, we located him. He was unconscious but alive.

“Fiji had saved his life.”

As she got older, Fiji started to get itchy and vets prescribed her with a special injection to be administered every six weeks, costing £140.

As an ex-working dog, Fiji could not be insured, so the Thin Blue Paw foundation agreed to pay for every injection for the rest of her life.

Claire said: “The Thin Blue Paw Foundation is amazing. Having had police dogs injured at work before and having always kept my working dogs when they retire, it’s great that Fiji can be looked after with the support of Thin Blue Paw.
