West Midlands Police (WMP) have named their new puppies in honour of Brummie rock legends, Black Sabbath.
With Black Sabbath set to play their final ever concert in Brum this weekend at Villa Park, WMP thought it only fitting to pay tribute to the city’s most iconic rock band.
Earlier this year, a litter of Sprocker puppies were born — and (WMP) named them in honour of the heavy metal legends themselves.
So, without further ado, meet our newest police pups: Ozzy, Toni, Sabbath, Billie, Wizard, Geezer… and Sharon!
A spokesperson for WMP said: “Over the coming weeks, the pups will be settling into their new surroundings with the help of our brilliant volunteer puppy walkers.
“These early days are crucial to shaping the confident, curious and capable police dogs they’ll grow into — and we’re so grateful to the volunteers who give them the best possible start. From the stage to the streets, Birmingham’s legacy of legends lives on! 🖤”
