Police dogs in the German city of Dusseldorf are being trained to wear shoes to protect them against injuries from broken glass.
Dusseldorf's team of 20 German and Belgian shepherds are at risk from smashed bottles in the city centre, a police spokesman said.

Training to help the dogs get used to the shoes, which arrived two weeks ago, is said to be going well.

It is hoped that dogs will be wearing them on patrol next month.

yeah the shoes are great. my friend had a dog that was old and had problems with his back legs. but if they didnt walk the dog daily they would have to put him to sleep. but walking the dog was hard cause it drug its back legs so they bought shoes for him and they worked great but they would go threw about 1 pair a week.

Yeah, I was wondering how often they'd have to change shoes, especially if they're wearing them cuz they go through debris fields.

I think it's great. A lot of places have special vests for the dogs, too.
