We've never been big fans of the dog movies of the 1930s (Rin Tin Tin, etc.), but this B-British action-crime film is really pretty good. Plus it's got Christopher Lee to boot! Two British cops pursue a burglary suspect. One of them is shot and killed by the fleeing criminal. His partner vows to catch the killer. However, before taking on this task he is assigned a police dog for added protection. So the cop puts a German Shepard through training, the scenes of which are most engrossing and very real. There's some nice domestic drama thrown in for good measure and Rice is very pleasing to the eye. A nifty climax has the dog chasing down the killer. Well-acted and scripted. Lee has a nice part as a constable who's afraid of dogs! Police Dog is presented in it's original 1.66:1 aspect ratio.
