January 2006 Update...
PC Adam Janes says that Cezar is learning how to be a police dog really well. He now knows that when he gets his special collar put on him that it's time to work! At first Cezar didn't understand that when PC Janes put him in the Police Dog Unit truck that it was time to go to work but now that he has actually caught a couple of suspects, he understands and LOVES his new job!!
