Taken from the Daily Star....

A police force apologised to Muslims yesterday over ads featuring a German shepherd puppy.

The cute photo of force pup Rebel was used on posters promoting a new phone number for non-emergency calls.

Rebel has become famed worldwide after “writing” a blog on his force’s website as he trains to be a police dog.

But when officers tried to capitalise on his fame by using his photo on the postcard adverts, Muslim leaders claimed they were getting ruff treatment.

Community leaders complained that, as Muslims consider dogs “unclean”, the postcard offends them.

Mohammed Asif, a councillor in Dundee and member of Tayside Police Board, said shopkeepers who had been sent the postcard to display had complained to him.

He said: “People who have shops just won’t put it up.”

The row comes a week after it emerged Muslims were protesting at being searched by sniffer dogs at stations and airports.

Now Tayside Police have scrapped the campaign.

A spokesman said: “Rebel has proved extremely popular with children and adults since being introduced to the public, aged six weeks old, as Tayside Police’s newest canine recruit

The Police apologised to Muslims after some middle class white councillor was offended on their behalf.
