Buster the German Shepherd could have had a great career as a British police dog had it not been for one flaw: his complete lack of interest in fighting crime.

The canine cop took early retirement after bosses at South Yorkshire Police noted his poor motivation — and a fondness for making friends with rowdy drunkards, his former handler said Monday.

When patroling Rotherham at pub closing times — when the streets are often crowded with drunken revelers — Buster wagged his tail when people came up to him and ate their fries, instead of deterring potential trouble makers, his former handler said.

"He just showed no interest in doing the job," Stephenson added. "He had no fire in his belly."

2. That just cracks me up. Maybe he would be a better security

guard dog. I see lots of them sleeping on the job! :shrug:

3. That's so cute.

At least the dog is happy.

4. No fire in his belly?

Man, cops are a strange breed. Why does 'having fire in one's belly' have anything to do with getting into someone's elses business? Sounds like they weren't doing anything wrong, but some pig fucker needs to get his rocks off by having a large, loud, obnoxious, and particularly testy dog by his side when he's harrasing people :eyes:
