EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1907 in Ghent, Belgium. Here we see a police constable accompanied by his loyal and well-trained canine companion. These remarkable dogs underwent an intensive four-month training period before joining their human partners on nightly patrols. In this particular image, both the officer and his faithful dog are dressed for wet weather conditions. Just like its handler, the intelligent police dog is adorned with a Macintosh rubberised waterproof coat to protect them from rain or dampness during their rounds. The photograph captures not only the dedication of these law enforcement professionals but also highlights the importance of teamwork between man and animal in maintaining public safety. The bond between this policeman and his trusted companion is evident as they stand side by side ready to serve their community. This historic snapshot offers a glimpse into early 20th-century policing practices, showcasing how even our furry friends played an integral role in maintaining law and order. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image while allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Ann Ronan Pictures' talented photographer. Let this evocative print transport you back in time as you marvel at the bravery and commitment displayed by these men, both two-legged and four-legged alike.
