Thursday's Child

Roi was the dog of Brier's dreams - he would enable her to fulfil her wish to become a police dog handler. A young widow with two small children, life had been hard for Brier since her husband was killed two years before, but now, after acquiring Roi, she was full of hope again. As we follow Brier through her intensive 13-week training with Roi, we discover how much dedication is demanded of the men and women who work as police dog handlers, and the enormous stresses that are placed on them.
