A Belgian Malinois with a bright future.

Police Dog (P.D.) Didi is part of the Thames Valley, Hampshire & IOW Dog Section. 

Smaller and lighter than many of her police colleagues, P.D. Didi combines an easygoing nature with just a touch of swagger and supreme athleticism. 

Her handler, P.C. Beale, talks to Kate Fairweather about her abilities, their relationship and what it takes to make it in the police dog world.

Dogs with Jobs is a unique audio series from Petersfield's Shine Radio, in which Kate Fairweather meets and celebrates the front line workers of the canine world. 

Produced by volunteers at Petersfield's Shine Radio.

Celebrate the frontline workers of the canine world.

Kate Fairweather comes face to face with a diverse cast of working dogs, perfectly equipped with the instincts, intelligence and training to handle everything their jobs throw at them.

Humans and dogs have worked together for centuries - and still do today in our communities.

Some work with handlers, drawing on their natural hunting, herding, or guarding instincts, or an exceptional sense of smell. Others perform caring roles, providing companionship and support to humans.

Podcast of the Year at the Community Radio Awards 2022.

Produced by volunteers at Petersfield's Shine Radio. Contact Kate at team@shineradio.uk or call 01730 555 500.
