Hard times are expected for the boars of the Novara, Bonnie is coming. Seven months old, Deutscher Jagdterrier breed, she is the dog of the provincial police dog unit. He's taking a course to learn how to track herds of wild boars from the smell, the course for the so-called "limiere dogs", and is making progress visibly: "With next year - says Roberto De Luca, the provincial police officer who is in custody together with his colleague Alberto Prandi - Bonnie will be ready for action. Already today, in training and simulations, when he smells even the slightest smell of wild boars, he becomes irrepressible, he wants to chase them at any cost ».
Bonnie will be in charge of report the flocks to the selecontrollers, but she is also trained to distinguish the smell of other injured animals and thus help them. The little dog has already become the mascot of the entire provincial police, and has already provided an excellent proof of his abilities last September, when the dog was among the protagonists of the initiative carried out in collaboration with colleagues from Belluno and the local police of Novara to identify any poison residues in some parks and green areas of the capital. The balance of the activity of the Novara provincial police was presented yesterday morning by the managing director Andrea Bricco.
"The hunting and fishing sector is one of the sectors in which the activity of the provincial police is carried out, to which this year we have also assigned two Renegade jeeps for hire and a pickup equipped for the dog unit ». Another important sector is the environmental one: "This is why the police have equipped themselves with a drone that allows them to carry out a series of surveys even in the most inaccessible areas to carry out the necessary checks". In terms of the environment, the provincial police checked waterways and drains, "And since the regulations on the subject are constantly updated - adds Bricco - as a Province we have organized a professional refresher course for the local police on environmental and waste matters".
The course will be held on 22 and 29 November in the main hall of the Bonfantini agricultural institute, in corso Risorgimento, and will have as speaker the commander of the local police of Domodossola, Marco Brondolo. «The course - concludes Bricco - has a total duration of nine hours. In addition to the agents of the various Municipalities, the voluntary ecological guards of the Province and the operators of the Management Body of the Protected Areas of Ticino and Lake Maggiore will also participate "(The print).
