We have been trained at the police academy and in turn have trained the dogs that have been assigned to us. I have been taking care of Sunny since he was a few weeks old. He is five now," he says as a playful Labrador is as excited as ever.            "We are assigned the job of walking them, feeding them, ensuring their vaccinations are done on time.
