Murph’s forever family wrote the following.
“We had the honour of caring for English Springer Spaniel Murph who served as an explosives dog between 2006 – 2012 with British Transport Police in Leeds .
When he retired my son who is a serving BTP officer adopted him from his handler and Murph became a major part of our family until he sadly passed away in May 2018.
He was an inspiration to us all and we will always be grateful for his years of service and for us being able to share part of his life.
His passing left a huge hole in our hearts and even now two years later he is missed every single day”.
