The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) needs help in naming the puppies that will become Canada’s future RCMP police service dogs.
In a media release, the RCMP (Innisfail, Alberta) stated,
‘We are asking Canadian children to choose the names of 13 German Shepherd puppies that will be born at the RCMP Police Dog Service Training Centre (PDSTC) in Innisfail, Alberta, throughout the year.
The winning names will be original and imaginative and will serve the puppies well during their careers as police dogs.
The 13 children whose puppy names will be selected will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the puppy they named, a plush dog called Justice and an official RCMP baseball cap.’
The rules stipulate that:
1) The name must start with the letter “K”.
2) The name must have no more than nine (9) letters.
3) The name must be one or two syllables.
4) Contestants must live in Canada and be 14 years old or younger. – One entry per child.
Entries will be received until April 11, 2017.
