Wink Buster - the winner!

RAF Dog Buster has just won Friends for Life at Crufts and £1,500 for Homes for Heroes. He retires today at the age of 8 years having completed four tours in Iraq, Bosnia and two in Afghanistan. Well done that dog, have a long, happy retirement.

It's good to have some parity with the handlers. One retires at 8 years, the other with a similar mental age.

I'll get my coat.




Apologetically retracted! Absolutely no offence meant, it was a joke, but it's been politely pointed out by a forum member that it was rather rude of me and I agree.

Sorry coppers!

Well...I saw the thread title & thought "Yes, I know...but why a thread?" Then I read the thread.

I hope that when I'm retired, they consider me & my potential breeding qualities...

Just a slight correction - the money was going to Hounds for Heroes, rather than Homes. He seemed to be having a good old time at the show!
