Russia unveils its body armour for DOGS following the death of police hound Diesel in Paris

* Designed by St. Petersburg-based Scientific Production Association of Special Materials (NPO)
* Russian dog handler said his dog didn't like her new jacket at first, but eventually got used to it
* French police dog Diesel was killed when police raided hide-out of Paris terrorist planner



A Russian defence company has released a new design of body armour to keep terror-sniffing police dogs safe in the wake of the death of French police dog Diesel, who died during a police raid in Paris following the Friday 13th terror attacks.

In a new video, Russian dog handler demonstrated the new design showing off the transformation from man's best friend to professionally protected police hound.

'At first, of course, the dog did not like the vest. Then gradually she realised that it was for her own good and protection,' Vladimir Khitrykh said in front of a pack of snapping photographers.




Remembered: Diesel, a seven-year-old Belgian shepherd was killed in the line of duty
