CHESHIRE Police needs your help to christen their latest puppy recruit.

Thousands of people have already suggested a range of inspiring names for the crime fighting canine.

The public is now invited to have their say on the final three, Axel, Rebel or Saxon.

Sgt Andy Burrage said: “We now need your help in choosing the name that best suits him.

“He will grow up quickly and needs a name as big as his presence as a general purpose police dog. “He will be doing everything from catching criminals to searching for missing vulnerable people.

“So it’s over to you to vote either on Facebook or Twitter, or comment on Instagram for your favourite name.”

Vote for your favourite with one of the following Facebook reactions: ‘like’ to vote for Axel, ‘love’ to vote for Rebel or ‘haha’ to vote for Saxon.

People can vote in a poll on Cheshire Police Twitter or Instagram.

Voting closes at midday on Wednesday, January 11 and votes cast after this time will not be counted.

The result will be announced later this week.
