This Danish policeman, Lars Bo Lomholt, is A Real Man.
Due to a quirk in Danish law a new widow's only solace, her dog, was about to be euthanized. The dog had bitten another dog, but passed the mental tests required with flying colours, and the elderly lady offered to do everything required to keep her dog. That should have been the end of the story.
The dog bitten had, however, developed an infection and that's where the quirk in Danish law comes in. Proceedings halted and the widow's dog was scheduled for euthanasia the next day.
Lars Bo Lomholt thought that this was wrong. So wrong that he put his entire career on the line, turning up at the dog pound in his police uniform and having the doomed dog released to him that night.
The dog, Thor, was taken to see a vet and then to an undisclosed location, where he is doing as well as can be expected, separated from his mummy, shortly after losing his daddy.
Officer Lars Bo Lumholt fully expects to be fired next week.
