Pepper Woof! I‘m Pepper, a real police dog! Well... in training. But I‘m very good at that. Some already call me Inspector Paw. I‘m even the best sniffer in my class. I‘m generally one nose-length in front of everyone as I‘m really clever. Hihi!
That‘s my partner Paul, a great police officer and super nice! We‘re a great team and really: for Paul, I would give my last piece of sausage. And he would do the same for me. Paws down! Woof!
Nasrin Nasrin is an officer, just like Paul. But she works in the crime department. They look for suspects while we are responsible for the security. Paul and Nasrin often work in a team. They like each other, just as Lulu and I do, but I guess it‘s always waaaay more complicated with humans.
Walter Chief officer Walter is Paul’s boss and sometimes a bit grumpy. He thinks that I cause trouble in the police station. That’s NOT true!
Lulu No one smells like her! Lulu is also a police dog in training and my secret crush. But: shhh!
