Denny with his new friend, sphinx cat Daemon. The German shepherd, 2, shares his new home in Al Barsha with three cats.
Owner Tene Saarva, 31, from Estonia, said she always wanted a German shepherd but was more interested in adopting than buying.
Denny leaps out for a walk. The former Dubai Police K9 team dog goes out at 5.30am and after 7pm. He also loves playing with the family's six children.
Dubai Police K9 unit dogs are trained in patrolling and bomb and narcotics detection. Some can even detect Covid-19.
Denny enjoys some quality time with owner Tene Saarva, while her stepson, Abdulaziz Al Marzooqi, 14, looks on.
Denny shows his agility playing in the garden with owner Tene Saarva. Dogs on the adoption list have retired from duties or were unable to meet police work demands.
