This striking image captures the intensity and dedication of a Metropolitan Police Animal Catcher from the Dog Handling Unit, as he prepares to safely apprehend a dangerous Alsatian dog. The officer wears a comprehensive set of protective clothing designed to prevent injury during high-risk animal captures. The thick, padded vest and helmet offer essential protection against bites and scratches, while the overalls and gloves provide additional coverage and grip. The van in the background serves as a mobile command center, equipped with cages and nooses to securely contain animals during transport.
